Food, clothes and toiletries will be collected over the next two weeks and sent to the Ecuadorian Embassy in Atlanta where Delta Airlines has volunteered to ship the donations. The items can be placed in boxes in Holy Family Hall and in the entranceway.  Needed items; tents, light cotton blankets, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, diapers, hand wipes, batteries, flashlights, garbage bags, water (1 l. bottles) baby food, can food and first aid supplies. Thank you, VdP.
