Oregon Dept. of Education Lists Ways to Help Gulf Region Students and Teachers

I work for an educational organization and we just received some information about education-related relief efforts targeted for teachers and students in recent hurricane-affected Gulf Region schools.

Cash is always the preferred method because of shipping costs (always make sure you give to a credible organization), but there is also a more "tangible" way to help suggested (for Oregonians, at least) on ODE's site, in which you gather a teacher or student supply kit and drop it off at a Oregon National Guard Armory Location for them to take to the Gulf Region. All relevant links, including supply lists and Armory locations, are listed on the Oregon Department of Education's web site.
