Flood Relief Work in Columbia
with St. John's Lutheran
Public Announcement from Pastor Shannon Mullen of
St. John's Lutheran, Beaufort, SC
In every disaster, the challenge with sending supplies is logistics - getting the right items to the right people in a timely way. That is why we have not asked for supplies to this point. We now have the right people in the right place ready to hand out supplies!
The following list has been ASKED for. We will NOT take any supplies that are NOT on this list!
PLEASE Note:
- NO bottled water because they have enough and the water is about to come back on.
- NO clothes! Do not send clothes. Don't ask why, just don't send them!
- Items brought after the last drop-off time will probably be donated to Beaufort charities.
- IF you can bring your items in a medium size cardboard box or plastic tub, (for example, the size of a case of paper or liquor store box) that would be great! If your box is not full, we can fill it with items people bring that are not in boxes.
The List:
+ Canned food - with pop-tops ONLY!
+ Peanut butter
+ Laundry detergent (small or regular size - not the huge, heavy containers)
+ adult diapers
+ packs of NEW rags
+ bottles of bleach
+ new, empty spray bottles
+ mops
+ Toiletries in original packages - please, again, these items only: toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving cream, feminine hygiene products (tampons and pads)
Drop off location: St. John's Lutheran Church - at the trailer in front of the building
Drop off times: Friday October 16 - 9 am to 3 pm
Saturday October 17 - 9 am to 3 pm
Sunday, October 18 - 8 am to 12:30 pm
