Donate
Money is still considered the best donation as it is easy
to move to the disaster
zone where there are still shortages of gas, transportation, and people to
sort and tag items. If
you do send supplies, be sure the box clearly labels what is inside. It
is also best to sort items
of a single type in the same box rather than mix up different kinds of
items together. Most places
will no longer accept clothing (with some specific needs excepted).
