Rental centers and their suppliers have a long-standing tradition of assisting those in need. The California Rental Association is calling on rental companies to donate to the CRA Tsunami Relief Fund.

“What is needed now,” CRA said, “are funds to begin to assist those affected the most. Food, clothing, drugs, and housing can be purchased and delivered faster than donating the items themselves.

CRA will be collecting checks to help aid the victims of this disaster. If you wish to donate, send your business or personal check to CRA, who will distribute them to one of the organizations you indicate below. Make the checks out to your organization of choice.

Relief Organizations:

• CARE
• Food for the Hungry, Inc.
• Project HOPE
• Salvation Army World Service Office
• International Red Cross

Send your check to CRA, P.O. Box 348420, Sacramento, CA 95834-8420.
