It is too bad Red Cross is just money people...I bet there's a bunch of
cajuns in the Astrodome that would love a fresh fish meal versus more canned
tuna and beans.

But that would be like 20,000 lbs of fish just for one big meal at what I
guess is the biggest shelter at the moment.

That's a lot of fish!

I don't know what the authorities views might be, obviously but it might

Any insights??


Not acceptable.

Not helpful, as they couldn't take stuff not USDA safe and feed it to
people. It's not like dropping some fish off at your neighbor's when
the neighbor's out of work or too ill to fish. It's a big operation
and they can't take any chances on raw food from unknown sources.

Money to buy mass quantities of food is the most help for feeding
disaster victims. Dry foods and canned goods are next most helpful.
Most food shelf places are responding with all they can send, so
giving money or canned goods or dry foods to your local food shelf to
help replenish the stock would be good.
