Country singer Faith Hill meets with American Red Cross workers at the Red Cross headquarters in Gulfport on Sept. 4. Hill was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast delivering relief supplies for survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

Wearing her old ball cap, entertainer Faith Hill pulled into the American Red Cross headquarters Sunday in Gulfport, followed by three truckloads of relief supplies and escorted by a convoy of security. Hill purchased the supplies, which she helped deliver to a Gulfport shelter Sunday afternoon.

"I don't think anyone who has watched the news the last few days can go to sleep at night without having your heart just bleed," says Faith Hill. "Tim (McGraw, her husband) and I both knew that we had to do something. We just contacted the American Red Cross and said, 'What can we do? What can we bring?'"

The Red Cross gave Faith a list of specifics, for instance: 1,000 toys for children; 500 socks for children, size small, medium and large; T-shirts for men, all sizes, 500 of each; diapers and feminine products and baby powders and food.

Once she arrived in Gulfport, Mississippi, Faith visited a shelter where 125 adults and 25 children were living. "I wanted them to know that we as a country have not forgotten them," says Faith. "Being raised in Mississippi, I've always known that this state has a really strong commitment to community and to helping thy neighbor. I saw it all of my life growing up, and in a crisis like this when you really, really have to count on your neighbor. You have nothing else to count on."

Faith and the Hurricane Katrina evacuees shared a special moment when they sang "Amazing Grace" together. "It was a really great moment," says Faith. "I think for that little moment in time we all kind of forgot where we were and we just sang together and praised together."
