Donations included bottle water, blankets, snacks, adult and children’s clothes, diapers and wipes, baby food/formula, juice (individual), packaged food, packages of new underwear, socks, tarps, generators, gift cards, and money donations were collected and sent down South. Volunteers were there to help pack the boxes and load on to the truck.
