RALEIGH, N.C. – U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s Campaign for Change said that it will begin accepting non-perishables and other materials at its 16 statewide offices on Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to assist families affected by Hurricane Gustav.
“We wanted to give North Carolinians another way to provide support to families that may be in need in the aftermath of Gustav,” stated Marc Farinella, Obama’s North Carolina State Director. “Our grassroots organization is ready and willing to pitch in and use its resources to help in any way we can.”
Local residents are encouraged to bring non-perishables such as canned food, bottled water, first-aid supplies and other materials that may help people in the wake of the storm to their local Campaign for Change office. The supplies will be distributed to aid foundations that can ensure they are delivered to families in need.

Obama is the right candidate at the right time. Now, is not the time to pointing fingers at anyone, but to grab the reigns and run with it. We are in a financial crisis and we need common sense. The crisis is here no matter who started it. The question is “Where do we go from here?”
