Ways to Help Hurricane Harvey Victims

Listeners are looking for ways to help victims of Hurricane Harvey.

We received this message this morning from Patricia Logan at the University of Illinois Extension Office in Effingham:

We also heard from Rosemary Percival at the Effingham County Salvation Army office. Salvation Army is encouraging checks be sent directly to their National Headquarters. Here's the address:

Salvation Army

PO Box 1959

Atlanta, Georgia 30301

(please note "Hurricane Harvey" on your check)

You can also phone 1-800-SAL-ARMY or text STORM to 51555.

We have also heard from Adam Moore at Sehy and Jones Optometrists that their location on Keller Drive is also a collection point. They are accepting items to be taken to Our Lady of Refuge in Refugio, Texas.

They are hoping to receive school supplies. They say "anything on the school supply aisle would be appreciated". Other items that would be helpful include:

canned soups, vegetables and meat

soaps

shampoo

personal hygiene products for women

T shirts

underwear and socks

sports bras

Ziploc bags

toothpaste and toothbrushes

applesauce

cereal
