Augsburg Cares: Relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina

Augsburg will be coordinating the collection of specific items needed to assist in local efforts. Currently much needed items include personal hygiene products, first-aid supplies and over-the-counter medications for children and adults, and baby products, such as bottles, bibs, and formula. Participants can drop supplies off at the Welcome Desk in Christensen Center.

Cash donations can be given to:
