Heard about some more volunteering/aid needs to add to the story we posted yesterday.

Update: The information below may not be current. We have an ongoing list of needs posted here.

From Shelly Fine:

Evacuees have been transported to two Centers:

Consolidation  Evacuation Center is in
George Washington High School.
549 Audubon Avenue at 192nd Street

They really need volunteer and they really need supplies.

The biggest need they have is wipes because they don’t have a way for the guests to bathe or shower.

Also they need blankets, clothes, toys for the kids at the shelter.

Also..

H.S. of Graphic Communication Arts

439 West 49th Street (between 9th and 10th Avenues)
The greatest need for Volunteers are from 4:00 PM Friday night through 8:00 AM Saturday morning.  Saturday daytime volunteers are also needed.

They need wipes.

They need toys, coloring books, crayons, and adult clothes.

They need more warm blankets. Everyone was cold last night.

We need drivers with cars to bring supplies to the shelter at 7:15 PM tonight and individuals to assist with carrying them. 

Call me at 917-453-3911

Thank you for your help!

Update: the 49th street shelter has enough clothing and other items, workers there said when we came to drop stuff off.
