CPAP equipment for Katrina victims

Earlier today Rock and Roll had a good idea about us donating our used or excess equipment to the hurricane victims. Does anyone know if the Red Cross, Salvation Army or the CPAP Charity is doing this? If so where do we send the equipment to.

The Red Cross and churches will take it in area the refuges have settled into. I checked. I sent mine to the Astrodome via a volunteer for the Red Cross.

Thanks for the reply, Rock and Roll. My small amount of stuff is on its way. There are so many evacuation centers now. There are several hundred people that are now at Camp Williams in Salt Lake City. My oldest daughter lives there. I am sure that they will not be at that center for long, as the people of Utah open up their homes and find employment for these good people. From now on is when the spirit of the people will start to show.

Thanks for the good timely info.
I just printed out one of the labels and am mailing one of my gently used nasal masks tomorrow along with all the packaged info that came with it. Today is my birthday and I can't think of a better present to give myself than to help someone less fortunate. Hopefully, it will be received by someone that needs and can use it for a better night's sleep. They have been through so much in recent days.
