Katrina community guide
This just in from the United Way:
Greetings Community Leaders,
The United Ways of Greater Greensboro and Greater High Point have worked this week to devise a Community Resource Guide for Katrina evacuees, not just those who are expected en masse, but also for those who have come to the Piedmont on their own. While this is nowhere near an exhaustive list, it does provide information newcomers might need to know on an immediate basis. We envision that access to additional information will be aided by the Piedmont Neighbors Care Teams. The area United Ways are more than happy to assist as needed in addition to the regional 2-1-1 web and telephone information service.
Printed copies of the Community Resource Guide will be provided to Katrina survivors as they arrive at the Coliseum, and at the Red Cross and United Way offices. Thas posted the Community Resource Guide on its website. Feel free to duplicate the Guide as you need in serving the newest neighbors in our community.
A special thank you to Nicky Smith (www.carolinanet.com) for his team's pro bono development of the NCDisasterAid website and to Alan Mimms and the PIP Printing team (www.pipgreensboro.com) on Albert Pick Road for printing and delivering 1,000 copies of the Guide at no charge!
Peace and good rest to all of you as our community welcomes Katrina survivors.
