HELP NEEDED FOR HURRICANE EVACUEES AT THE HARKER HEIGHTS REC CENTER
The Harker Heights Rec Center volunteering with the evacuees. One of the volunteer coordinators is asking for help from the community beyond what was requested earlier. Volunteers are needed to help serve meals during the breakfast hour 8am, lunch hour 12pm and dinner 5pm. The building is a capacity already. They are expecting to have evacuees there for anywhere between 1 to 2 weeks.
They would like donations of the following items:
- Clothing for Men, Woman and children. (The evacuees were bused in and could not bring much with them).
- Diapers, formula, wipes, baby blankets, and clothing
- Packaged snacks
- Books, magazines, puzzles, videos (vhs or DVD)
- Childrens books or small toys
- Strollers (gently used ones are great) They weren't able to bring them on the buses.
- Shampoo, Conditioner, soap
- Toothbrushes/toothpaste
- Lotions
- Deodorant
- Bandaids
- Hand sanitizer
- Towels
- Paper towels
- Clorox Wipes
- Detergent
The families are being taken to Union Grove Middle School in the evenings to use the showers in their gym locker rooms.
If you are able to help, please bring donations to the Harker Heights Rec Center on Miller's Crossing off of 2410 / Knights Way, behind the post office and City Hall. If you can volunteer, please stop by and sign in with the main desk. They will need a lot of help for many days.
