I’ve been asked by some to let you all know of any needs in Houston. Of course there is need everywhere and you can contact the Red Cross to find out what you can do.

Here, close to home, co-workers have been affected. Some have had severe damage and some lost everything, including their home.

Here is a list of Immediate Needs

Bottled Water/Ice
Non perishable food
Home cooked meals
Availability of washer/dryer
Hand Wipes/Paper Towels
Hand Sanitizer
Clothes
Furniture
Dishes

I am going to take some of these items by my main office. (I’m at a branch office.) If anyone is interested in donating any of these items please feel free to send me an e-mail at shoegirl1970@yahoo.com.
