I have been volunteering at the Salvation Army next to the university campus. I was connected with an extended family of 20, at the core are three sisters my age with their children and grandchildren (including a 2 week old baby). I've been helping them connect with agencies, work out paperwork, and this weekend we'll be writing job resumes. These women are all hard working, are in the category of "working poor," but their jobs vanished with the hurricane, so we need to recreate their job histories so they can move forward.

I'll also be working on the Salvation Army's computers in their public computer lab. They are a mess.
