WILMINGTON — Several Wilmington businesses have teamed up to collect and deliver food and supplies to a Houston food bank. The Houston area is still reeling from heavy winds and flooding in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
The group of businesses are calling themselves Wilmington Supports Harvey Victims. According to member Beth Churchman the plan came together yesterday over email between several business owners. Churchman, who works at participating company BlueCoast Realty, said “it’s been really great, it all came together really quickly.”
Wilmington Supports Harvey Victims will collect food and supplies throughout the week until Friday evening. On Saturday, participants will load up at 26-foot truck and drive to Houston to deliver the donations to area recovery efforts.
Here’s what to drop off:
- Bottled Water
- Hygiene products (Soap, wipes, feminine products)
- Diapers (baby and adult)
- Non-perishable food (canned meat, veggies and fruit with pop tops, peanut butter and jelly, items that don’t require can-openers are preferable)
