Umm... you know many of the displaced are going to continue to need to be cared for for some time. The outpouring of contributions has been generous, to say the least, but the further we get from the event, the more funds are going to dry up. People gave all they could when it first happened. I understand and share many of the objections (volunteer means volunteer, etc), but at the same time, I understand that there is a very practical need for funds to get these people back on their feet and new lives started. In that vein, I think these funds will help out a LOT. Besides, many churches will probably just add the "reimbursement" funds to those they're spending to help out victims. And so what if they need to repair some damage? At least they're not kicking people out! They're providing HOMES (well, shelter anyway) for these people. It's not a small task.
