Those faculty and employees who would like to give to the Red Cross but can’t make it to the Cafe can make a donation online at http://www.redcross.org/.
“Right now, to aid the victims of this disaster, what is needed most are monetary gifts,” said John Russell, assistant vice chancellor for Human Resources at UNMC. “There will be opportunities to donate other items in the future, but right now, cash donations can be used by the relief organizations to supply the items most needed by the victims.”
Already, UNMC and its hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center, have begun their efforts to assist those devastated by Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf Coast last week. Patients have been transported to The Nebraska Medical Center (see adjoining story), and students have contacted campus officials about continuing their studies at UNMC, at least temporarily.
