As of now, the Hurricane Katrina: Blog for Relief Weekend has raised $570,803. I've recommended that readers contribute to the Salvation Army because I know that, for every dollar they raise, 83 cents goes directly to the intended recipients.
Because of the overwhelming response, the Army has set up five different donations servers: Here, here, here, here and here to take donations. You can also pledge by phone at 1-800-SAL-ARMY or by mail at PO BOX 4857, JACKSON, MS 39296-4857--write "disaster relief" on the checks. You can log your donation here.
If you'd rather donate to a different charity, here's a list of recommended charities.
Do what you can.
