1. Gas - for volunteers and for the trucks - for instance I have available trucks and also a company that wants to donate hay - the company is in San Francisco so that requires a lot of gas - we don't want to pass that on to the volunteer person providing the truck and his time. These volunteers (me included) are not making any money at our regular jobs - so tough on us too.
2. prescriptions - so much red tape and time going through red cross - these seniors need their meds that are either at a home or burned in a home... so we want to get them filled and to them.
3. Things that are not getting donated as a normal need - such as heating pads, icy hot, bras, underwear, halloween costumes for the kids is what they are crying for now... they are afraid not to have Halloween. awww... !!!!
4. What they refer to as cash cards - either the cards like visa that can be used anywhere or specific ones from stores - here is what we have here, Albertsons, Vons Stater Brothers, CVS, Longs Drugs, Target, Kmart, Walmart, Costco, Sam's Wholesale, any of the major clothing stores - Sears, Old Navy, etc. Prefer the big box stores though. just call or mail you have one in question.
We need this stuff in large quantities:
If you can call companies and ask them to donate pallets of items here is what we need and where it can be delivered to: Please contact me via email with what you have acquired as you do.
For the horses, llamas, sheep, etc :
Hay - NOT TO BE DELIVERED TO THE CHURCH - I will get the driver through the police checkpoint. bridles sweat wipers buckets triple antibiotic ointment - neosporin used blankets I am not a horse person so not sure all that they need - so call me if you think of something and I will add it to the list.
For Humans water - 5 gallons are ok - 5 gallon water dispensers, gallon containers and water bottles masks - the really good ones if possible - just can't get enough of these baby wipes - being uses in place of showering Ensure or other vitamin enriched drinks Gatorade type drinks with electrolytes Depends or other disposable undergarments food - any - contact me regarding donations of perishable food - dry foods like pancake mix, dry milk, ready made mixes eye drops - the individual ones eye wash triple antibiotic ointment - neosporin anything medical such as bandaides, wraps, etc. anything toiletry : toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotions, razors, creams, make-up, body scrub, dental floss, contact cases, solution, nasal spray Any clothing - all sizes really need undergar
