The HopkinsCares program, a Johns Hopkins student movement started in response to last December's Indian Ocean tsunami, has begun collecting donations to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Wristbands, embossed with the words, "Hopkins Cares," will be distributed in return for suggested donations of $3 each. Homewood undergraduate student council members and members of the Johns Hopkins chapter of the American Red Cross will be distributing the wristbands at stations around the Homewood campus. Wristbands also may be purchased at the Center for Social Concern office, located on the second floor of Levering Hall.
