News is coming in on organized ways to donate to help the victims of Gustav (and presumably incoming hurricanes that may yet do damage). The state of Mississippi has set up the Mississippi Hurricane Recovery Fund, where you can donate money or volunteer. In addition to the state, it brings together FEMA, MEMA, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama sent out the following text message today to all supporters, asking for donations:

"Barack asks that you give to the Red Cross: give $5 by texting GIVE to 24357 or give more by calling 1-800-435-7669."

Please post other donation efforts you hear up below.
