Backpacks for New Orleans

On Thursday, Jody posted how she wished she could make backpacks filled with good stuff for New Orleans kids.

Today, she posts:

... My message was forwarded to a local company, and a grassroots effort was started by the employees to do just that. 200 employees have pledged to bring in a backpack on Tuesday, and the company has said they will ship them to Houston and arrange to have them delivered.
