Beginning Monday, September 26, Rockefeller Plaza in New York City will become "Humanity Plaza" for five days as volunteers literally construct homes around-the-clock for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. In addition to helping rebuild the lives of people affected by this tragedy, NBC recognizes that thousands of animals were also victims of Katrina. In response to this, NBC will highlight the efforts of Noah's Wish and Cape May Box Company, who has donated eight pre-fabricated dog houses to Noah's Wish to be assembled on the Plaza. Animal lovers can contribute additional Cape May Box Company dog houses at wholesale cost with a donation to Noah's Wish (www.noahswish.org/doghouse.htm). Cape May Box Company will oversee construction of the orders on the Plaza throughout the week and the completed dog houses will then be shipped to Slidell, Louisiana.
