"... churches, businesses and neighborhood groups are all scurrying to organize food drives, blood drives, clothing drives. People are gathering luggage, Band-Aids, diapers, whatever they can think of. It’s clear that Nashville is as flooded with goodwill as New Orleans is with biohazardous, disease-carrying water."
