The churches in the areas have become full shelters and there are specific requests for personal hygiene items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, tooth brushes, deodorant, feminine products, undergarments (mens, childrens, and womens), baby wipes, baby food, and ready to feed baby formula, Can Openers, Batteries, flash lights, and moist wipes. In addition, due to vehicle destruction, they are requesting donations to purchase community bus transportation cards to assist citizens needs to get to doctors appointments, grocery stores, etc. Bottled water is a requirement as the public water system lines have been compromised. They are not needing clothes- only under garments.

A friend we know who was working in Illinois lost his home,car.and shed.His wife had went to a safe place. Their neighbor lost her life. In New Athens many people lost their homes. A trailer park that had many nice homes were lost. At one time there were over 100 homes in this park. It was destroyed back in the seventies. This park has a under ground shelter A family near this area lost 5 in one family. These small towns are located just before you get into the Huntsville area.

I believe it will be an ongoing effort for a while. I don’t know the exact hours, but their church office is open in the mornings. If it’s closed, you could leave items outside the office

Canned meals, canned meats, can openers. Money is a great way for the workers (or walmart gift cards, as most are up on generators now) to go buy propane tanks and supplies everyone forgets. We have infants in need....diapers, baby food/cereals and diapers of all sizes. It doesn't matter which community you send it to, these are the things the local radio keeps wanting to send. I think you can stream the radio station for here to listen for yourself. Google 92.7 fun radio Arab alabama and they are opperating in emergency mode, no commercials or music. They are the most informative I have found. Although my home was spared, I appreciate my home place pulling together!!! Thank you so much for the help you are sending up here.
