Headed to Louisiana
Looks like I’m headed to Louisiana for a few days to help out. Someone in my Land Rover Club has been organizing caravans of supplies to rural areas of the state and I volunteered my truck to help out. There are areas that are hard to reach but with a 4×4 you can get aid to where it’s needed. Right now I’m looking for a trailer to tow out there with me because my truck has limited cargo space. I’m also looking for supplies to load me up before I leave in the next few days. If anyone knows of or has a trailer in the Austin area they’re willing to loan me for a week please drop me a line. Below is a note from folks in that area listing what supplies they need. If you have any of these I’ll carry them over with me.
Our most pressing needs are:
– Non-perishable food items & juices
– Baby Food
– Baby Formula
– Diapers
– Feminine hygiene products
– Hand sanitizer
– Care packages for military personnel (travel size
toiletries, insect repellant, new olive drab or brown
military style undershirts, new underwear, new socks)
– Batteries (D size)
– Leather Work Gloves
– 1 gallon ziplock baggies
– Non-parishable canned foods
– Small pint-sized juice boxes (the kind with the
little straws)
– Energy Bars
– Unsliced Cured Salami LogsA great idea would also be to include a personal note
of some kind. These people are worn out and need to
know they are being thought of and that our hearts are
with them.
Thanks.
