   Update: Hurricane Katrina’s effect on marketing

Dear Friends,

While the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort was slow to build, it now appears to be fully underway, and the rebuilding process has finally begun. 

As of Friday, September 9th, the USPS has lifted its suspension of Standard, Periodical, and Express mail for ZIP codes 369, 393 and 394.  Additionally, drop shipments are now being accepted into ZIP codes 365, 366, 369, 393, and 394, however an appointment is required. Drop shipments to 703 in Louisiana are only being accepted in the Baton Rouge Sectional Center Facility 707 until further notice.

ZIP codes still not accepting delivery of Standard, Periodical or Express mail are:

Mississippi: 395 and 396
Louisiana: 700, 701, and 704

Remember to remove addresses in these suspended ZIP codes from any outgoing mailings so that your list data will not be permanently altered, and to keep checking in at www.usps.com for the latest details.

Our hearts go out to each and every person affected by this tragedy, and we deeply hope that their prayers will be answered.

Sincerely yours,

Craig Huey
President

P.S.  Donations to the disaster relief effort have been tremendous—almost $800 million so far—but now that the rebuilding effort is ready to begin in earnest, even more help is needed.  Please continue to encourage donations to the Salvation Army by sending visitors to www.salvationarmy.com, or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.
