We could wait until school is back in after the holidays, but I'd like it to be there by the kickoff or shortly afterwards.

I have points of contact at each of the affected Gulf Coast teams. However, I can't publicly post that information without their prior consent. I will get in touch with them and see if they are OK with posting their contact info. In the mean time, if there are particular teams that you would like to reach, send me a note and I will pass it along to the team contacts.
Since the schools are closing for the holidays (some in fact are already closed), we recommend you send materials to Katie Wallace at the NASA Stennis address. They will be accepting materials through the holidays, can store the materials locally, and will pass donations along to the teams as soon as the schools re-open.

Amanda's point is a good one. I can guarantee that everything sent will be thankfully used by the teams, as they need pretty much everything in most cases. However, if we can "load balance" between the multimeters and tools and speed controllers, etc, it would be appreciated.
Again, thank you to everyone that is able to help these teams and their efforts.
