Lowell Sun Online - Home: "Nonprofits hope charitable giving begins at, and returns, home
By PETER WARD, Sun Staff
LOWELL -- So far, it appears Hurricane Katrina is on a course to generate more charitable giving than the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
So now, officials who run local nonprofit agencies are worrying that when the flood of generosity after the hurricane recedes, so too will charitable giving in general -- a phenomenon also experienced after the terror attacks.
But it may be too soon to know.
People such as Melissa Temme, spokes-woman for the national Salvation Army, hope the hurricane reminds people they have neighbors with dire needs closer to home."
