Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. We could use a few more items so collection boxes at the high school and Town Center, the yellow building outside the recreation office, will remain out until May 9. The box in the police station lobby will be picked up on April 30th.
The list of suggested items is below. If you would like to help out with the actual packing of the boxes, please email [email protected]. The packing will take place on May 11 (Friday 3-7pm) and May 12 (Saturday 10am-1pm).
