Sports Drinks
Plastic Storage Tubs (+/- 15 gallon size)
Heavy Duty Garbage Bags
Baby Items (diapers, baby food, baby formula, baby wipes)
Work Crews:
Crews will be working on Friday and Saturday to help with tree and debri removal. They will leave the church promptly at 8:00 each morning.
Bring a chain saw if you own one, tools that might be helpful and work gloves.
