The WalMart Corporation really does look out for their associates. This is from their website, www.walmart.com:
Initially, more than 34,000 Wal-Mart associates were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Our goal is to help associates get back on their feet and move forward with their lives. The Wal-Mart Emergency Information Line, established to answer associates questions and concerns, has fielded more than 12,200 calls.
Any displaced associate can come and work in any other U. S. Wal-Mart store.
Displaced associates are eligible for up to $1,000 from our Associate Disaster Relief Fund if their homes were flooded or destroyed. We have already provided cash assistance to more than 6,100 associates.
The on-line Emergency Contact Service placed on walmart.com and samsclub.com for use by associates and the public to locate and communicate with their friends and family members has received more than 9,600 postings and more than 960,000 hits.

Phil,
Thanks for the notes over on my space. It looks like I have a bit of reading to do here. From the looks of the first post, I like what I see. I am amazed at the number of agencies, churches, and individuals that have stepped up to the plate to meet needs following Katrina.
I think the church is really shining right now as well. Anyway, blessings to you, bro.
