Not just with financial pledges. Wal-mart is setting up mini-stores along the gulf coast (where they are allowed to, at least) with necessities, selling at "non-gouging" prices out of goodwill, and giving product away to those with true need. They are providing communications between those in the disaster area and their relatives elsewhere so people can let others know they are OK. That's just the beginning. It takes about 10 seconds to find this stuff on the web.
