Hey guys!
After a lot of frustrating searching, we have finally found an address in
North Dakota that will take stuff. I know it seems strange, but we were
having a hard time finding a place to mail stuff NOW. We DID call the
Red Cross referral line and tried a lot of other avenues. I just wanted
to share the address we found. PLEASE NOTE: it appears that many
agencies will not take used clothing (previously worn). We will be
sending cleaning supplies and paper products. The address below will not
take used clothing either. Also below is an e-mail address for the Fargo
Salvation Army. You can e-mail them and check to see what they will and
will not take for donations. We found the most useful information on the
internet. You can manuever to some good sites if you start at the Univ/
of North Dakota site. (I think it's www.und.edu). The below address
is in Fargo, which is a little ways away, but it is serving as a regional
source of stuff and will go out to people all over the area. The reason
why it is so hard to send stuff is because (as of earlier this week
anyway) no one could get into the area to start providing stuff to people
who need it (except FEMA). Agencies were unsure as to how, when, and
where they would be able to take donations and distribute them. Things
will get easier with time in this regard. By the way, don't forget the
people in need in Minnesota and in Canada.

Hope this helps any of you who are looking to send stuff.
