Today we’re deploying three Oregon volunteers to Alabama. Tomorrow morning one more will hop on a plane bound for Birmingham. Other volunteers are already on the ground, and have been offering shelter, food, and hope to tornado survivors for the past couple of days.

Keep and eye on the national Red Cross flickr stream for photos of our volunteers in action. Below are a few from the disaster relief effort so far.

And since lots of folks in the twittersphere have been asking, I want to make sure to tell you the best way to help is to donate at RedCross.org or give $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999.

Big thanks to you and all of our amazing volunteers.
