Wounded Again: New York, NY




My Facebook and corporeal friend and neighbor Sydne Didier is spearheading a drive to pack up a 17-foot truck loaded (we hope) with relief supplies for New York City, leaving Amherst tomorrow afternoon.  If you can spare any of the materials you stocked up on for storm Sandy, please drop them off Saturday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM at the Amherst Common School, 521 South Pleasant Street.

Because truly, there but for the grace of God ...


Donation List:

Blankets, candles, flashlights, batteries, water, food, socks, towels, printer paper, baby items: diapers etc. pet food, Propane grille or camping style oven, plates, cups, forks, bowls, spoons, etc jackets, gloves, hats, anything to keep folks warm, cleaning supplies - buckets, squeegies, mops, bleach masks, gloves for cleaning tarps garbage bags


Boxes of 12" candles left over from 10 years ago when Yankee Candle donated over 3,000 for the 1st anniversary of 9/11 candlelight vigil on the Amherst Town Common will be on their way to New York.

    I dropped off diapers this afternoon and there were many, many cases of them on her porch. Might be good to pick something else from the list if you want to donate. Kudos to Sydne!
