Grant recipients helping victims of Hurricane Gustav

Many of the non-profits in the Grants program are taking part in the relief efforts for Hurricane Gustav.

We'd like to call attention to some of them so that you can get involved, offer support or learn more about the storms affecting the U.S. Gulf Coast.

• Oxfam America has staff on the ground in the affected regions and is providing supplies, manpower, food and rebuilding assistance. Read more or donate to help.

If you're a Grant recipient providing relief to people affected by the hurricanes and have questions about managing your AdWords account to scale with the traffic they've generated, please contact our team so we can make sure you reach those in need and those who can help.
