Can anyone find a consistent Katrina donation location in NYC for clothing etc? I think donations are still being accepted in Brooklyn in Bay Ridge at this location:

NY State Senator Martin Golden's District Office
7403-5th Avenue between 74th and Bay Parkway
Brooklyn, New York 11209
(718) 238-6044

I was there this morning with a car load full of goodies, including a frisbee for Rocking the Boat designed by Erin Wright.

Still NYC needs a big location that is dependable. If anyone reading this has time to do so, please make some phone calls and get it rolling. I haven't heard anything publicized about the Salvation Army or anything.

There is this site, http://www.scribbledthoughts.com/dropoff but i am unsure where they are sending the donations exactly. The person coordinating it is from Lafayette, and I found her on Craigs list.

This weekend I called up all the cajun restaurants in NYC to ask about fundraisers. Only one had it together already:

New Orleans Relief Effort Benefit

Jacques-Imo's NYC
366 Columbus Ave At 77th St , New York 10024
Phone: 212-799-0150

This restaurant's owner runs the location on Oak Street in New Orleans, next door to the Maple Leaf Bar. They say: Great New Orleans' Food, Open Bar, Live Entertainment, and a great, great auction. Come support New Orleans! 100% of the proceeds are going to relief efforts in New Orleans. Tickets are $30.00 in advance and $40.00 at the door. Call 212-799-0150 to buy your ticket.
On the phone they tell me in addiion to this, now 15% of any bill gets donated to Louisiana.
