At one point Thursday proverb

 At one point Thursday, we were lined up at the door with people wanting to donate money. We've called in extra volunteers to help answer our phones because they are ringing constantly. It all goes to disaster relief and the need right now is shelter and food. Our shelters will stay open until there is no one there, until their needs are met.

 Our donations are down by at least $10,000. We're hurting for money. I know there's a lot of donor burnout. We do appreciate all the food and personal items that people donate but we need money to stay open.

 The thing is, these people being housed in shelters are getting food and drinking water, and they don't have the room to acquire a lot of possessions. They will need the basic personal care items such as diapers and infant formula, but their basic needs are being provided by the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. That takes money: There's no way around it. A 16-ounce can of food won't feed very many people in a shelter, but a truckload of No. 10 cans will.

 The phones weren't ringing much that night ... so I issued an on-air challenge for my company to match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $1,000. After that, the phones started ringing and they made some good money that night.

 The phones have been ringing off the hook with people wanting to get married, some as early as tomorrow, ... I still maintain it's legal and the right thing to do.

 The phone has been ringing off the hook, literaly nonstop. People who are here looking for food, agencies that we work with regularly who need extra food, but also from all across the country.

 A family we're helping out has two girls in college, ... One's a pre-med student, and the other is enrolled in a nursing program. But their parents have no jobs, and they have no money in their pockets. We originally approached them about getting out of the shelter and into a hotel. But they said, What do we do then? We have shelter here -- and free food. We don't have any money to buy food on our own.

 Just in the past two or three days, the phones have been ringing off the hook here. I think this disaster is helping more people make the connections and see the ways this war is impacting our nation.

 There are people in the free world helping them stay hidden and get food and shelter and also in traveling, so we think the reward money, with the television program last night, will entice them to call and turn those people in,

 I think it's kind of brutal that they don't even have enough food to facilitate the volunteers. You'd think in a city like Toronto, with all the wealth, we'd be able to donate enough food for everyone.

 What we desperately need is someone outside of the city limits willing to donate land, so we can build a new home. But it isn't just about money or writing a check. The most important thing we can have is volunteers who donate their time.

 Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability.

 The priority for relief agencies in the towns is shelter, water and sanitation, while in the countryside it is shelter and food.

 Our church is full of white volunteers right now. We have hundreds of volunteers from the North Carolina Baptist Men Disaster Relief. They were here before FEMA, before Red Cross, when no one was helping out, and they've committed to being here for two years.

 Our only option is to refer people to one of the shelters in Dane County -- or to send them up to a shelter in Stevens Point. We have no place, else, to put people.

 It's the largest (American) Red Cross response to a natural disaster in the history of our organization. We know it's going to cost in the millions, because we've already sheltered about 160,000 people and we have over 650 (Red Cross) shelters open in 17 states. But we don't have final figures because we're in the midst of trying to respond to this disaster and meet the immediate needs.
