In what has proved to be the deadliest natural disaster in recent U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina has left thousands of victims without homes, food and critical necessities and are in desperate need of help.

The McFarlane Companies are saddened by the events that have caused so much damage and chaos in New Orleans and the neighboring cities. Many of us at the offices in Arizona and New Jersey have donated money to various organizations to help.

We ask that you follow the links below to the organizations relief websites and donate whatever sum you can.

In one of the worst crises this country has ever faced, please assist our fellow Americans in this dire time of need.

Thank you.
