Yahoo! is reporting that several major Islamic organizations, including the Islamic Society of North America and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, "announced a pledge to raise $10 million in humanitarian relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina." A coalition, called the Muslim Hurricane Relief Task Force, was also formed to coordinate the aid effort.

Also, according to Dr. Pritpal Singh of the American Gurdawara Parbhandak Committee:

the Sikh community has so far dispatched two truckloads of grocery items, including juice, water and eatables for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He also said that the gurdawaras of Houston and Dallas have been organizing langars or community kitchens for victims

Unfortunately reports are also surfacing as to the impact of Katrina on the Sikh community in New Orleans: a "gurdwara in New Orleans is submerged and some 50 Sikh families from New Orleans and the outlying areas have been evacuated and are living in temporary homes."
