I found a thread with lots of relief information. I don't know about others.. but, maybe i'll just quote a bunch of stuff I've posted elsewhere and list it here. but...
I ran into this:
Put this in your sig for a while:

Please take a look. and please put it in your sig! Please pray [if you do that] or send warm happy thoughts [if you're not the praying type] to all those families out there still stuck in new orleans. there are now coming reports of rapes, killing, and all sorts of maliscious and vile behavior going on down there among the suffering... people are dying still everyday from lack of water and food... people are living like animals... sleeping and living in their urine and feces. I know that sounds gross.. but imagine if you were someone who had to LIVE LIKE THAT...
crying The things now going on in New Orleans are horrible. However, someone in the thread which is linked above lists on page 4 all the companies which are trying to help. I"m going to see what i can to do talk to some people at TRU and see if we can't raise donations from customers, and then ship them out to stores around houston and atlanta that are sheltering the refugees. What can TRU give? well, we can ask people in store if htey want to donate. The way we run donations is each register gets a gift card. All donations go to one card, then at the end of the week, they send all the cards securely. At the stores on the helping end like in Houston, San Antonio, and Atlanta among other places would pass them out to family refugees. Remember there are whole families out there who need forumula, diapers, wipes, batteries, etc. TRU doesn't just sell toys. There is a lot there that can help families with young children.
got another link to a livejournal blogging the progress of what's going on down there form someone experienceeing it firsthand:
