Local organizations and churches are gathering donations; please CALL YOUR LOCAL ORGS & RADIO STATIONS to request they broadcast how and where YOUR COMMUNITY can help storm relief efforts across the southeast! Then PLEASE VOLUNTEER with donation collection, loading, distribution.
BE AWARE: Orgs must prioritize certain goods according to current needs, so please donate accordingly (to prevent shortages, backlogs, and storage issues)! Note: USED clothing, bedding etc. are NOT wanted, please!
Bulk packs of new items are ideal, cost efficient and easiest to sort/pack/ship/distribute! Cobsider ordering online and drop ship to receiving/distribution centers nearby storm ravaged areas (churches have lists)!
