Hurricane Irma Donation Drive

A Hurricane Irma Relief Center will be set up at Bob Hope Village's Gates Welcome Building, 92 Sunset Lane, Shalimar, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 13, so that our local community members can donate items needed.
 
The following items WILL BE ACCEPTED according to the American Red Cross' current needs:
 
 
  *   Packaged food items such as granola bars, cookies, chips, crackers, etc.
  *   Baby supplies such as wipes, diapers, receiving blankets.
  *   Adult supplies such as wipes, adult diapers of all sizes and for both males and females.
  *   Linens such as clean sheets, pillow cases, blankets, towels and wash cloths.
  *   New pillows. (Used pillows cannot be accepted.)
  *   Toiletries such as tooth brushes, tooth paste, mouth wash, soap and lotions.
 
We cannot accept clothes, shoes, perishable food, or water because these are being supplied by the American Red Cross. Canned goods cannot be accepted as they are too heavy.
 
Financial gifts cannot be accepted at the Gates Welcome Building. If you'd like to make a cash donation, please use www.CharityNavigator.org<http://www.CharityNavigator.org> to check the legitimacy of charitable organizations. Charity Navigator has compiled a list of trusted groups for Hurricane Irma relief.
