I received the following email from Ask Jeeves, and pass this info on:
The Ask Jeeves family in the United States, and in our joint ventures

everyone during the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania
Tragedies. We are all profoundly affected by this terrible act.
We are grateful to be able to respond to requests by our

As a concerned citizen, you may be asking how you can assist in the
disaster relief effort. The most immediate opportunity is to give to
the American Red Cross.
Your contribution will help thousands of people in a time of urgent
need. American Red Cross resources are strained during emergencies of
this magnitude. Your efforts and energy will make a difference. Please read
the following official message from the American Red Cross which includes ways
you can respond to this crisis.
American Red Cross
World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pittsburgh Tragedies
The American Red Cross has immediately responded to the explosions at
the World Trade Center in New York City and in the Pentagon on the
National Mall in Washington, D.C. that occurred early in the morning on
September 11, 2001. The Red Cross has activated its Aviation Incident
Response (AIR) Team to respond in New York City and trained disaster
workers from the American Red Cross are providing relief in the affected
areas.
80,000 blood donations in the American Red Cross blood inventory are
ready to ship to affected areas and will ensure that patients' lives are
saved. In the wake of these traumatic events lies a wide path of
catastrophic physical and psychological destruction in which countless
victims will require assistance. In addition to meeting the physical
needs of the affected regions, the American Red Cross will be providing
crisis mental health counseling.
"The American Red Cross is doing everything we can to ensure the
immediate availability of the safest possible blood," said Dr. Bernadine
Healy, president and CEO of the American Red Cross. "We are also
dispatching hundreds of trained disaster workers and mental health
counselors to New York, Washington D.C. and elsewhere," she added.
The fastest and most effective way to help the victims of this disaster
is through cash and blood donations, which allow for the best use of
resources. All Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by
voluntary donations of time and money from the American people.
To make a blood donation, please call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or contact your
local blood service organization. To help the victims of this and other
disasters through a financial contribution, call 1-800- HELP-NOW to make
