[New Orleans' Christ Churc...]
New Orleans' Christ Church Cathedral, on St. Charles Avenue., opened a relief center in the early days after the hurricane as the city re-opened. It began by giving away water and cleaning supplies. The center is set up on the front lawn and offerings clothes and shoes, personal-hygiene items, baby supplies, water and food supplements. It has met about 25,000 requests for help.
