San Antonio is in the process of welcoming some of the people who have been devastated by Hurricane Katrina to our city. San Antonio and area churches are joining together to provide relief for refugees when they arrive. Here is what is needed: linens such as new or gently used sheets, comforters, pillowcases, towels, washcloths; toiletries, baby diapers, formula, all kinds of FOOD, tables and metal or other shelving to stack donated items on while they are being gathered and assembled before being driven to Kelly AFB and the shelters in SA where refugees will be staying.
If you would be able to provide any items, would you please drop them off at the old Alberston's building (now Trinity Baptist Ministry in the Making) at the corner of Hwy. 281 and St. Mary's. They should be open from 7:30 am - 6:30 pm Monday through Saturday for the next several weeks. Tomorrow, Saturday Sept 3, they will open at 9:00 a.m.
Also, volunteers will be needed to receive and organize donated items from 7:30 am - 6:30 pm. If you can volunteer or provide food or snacks for volunteers, your help would be much appreciated. Please pass the word around to as many people as you can. Thank you so much.
Get hold of Paul or John Griffin if you want the contact person's name & phone.
