Y'all Come!
Texas is welcoming displaced Louisianans with gusto. Big hearted Texans are opening their pocket books and even their homes to the devastated folks of New Orleans. Organizations such as the Dallas Salvation Army are awash in donations. There are literally lines of cars and trucks waiting to unload donated items. It's not just "stuff" Texans are donating. When I asked if there was a need for volunteers at the Salvation Army Hdqtrs in Dallas, I was told they were swamped with people wanting to volunteer. Way to go, Dallas!
You have to spend some time here to realize that Texans truly feel blessed and we just want to help out any way we can; and incidentally, we have difficulty doing anything in moderation.
The Hill has a good piece about Texas, the Louisiana evacuees and the problem Louisiana may have getting their people to return home. Check out Texas wants you anyway.
