Donating Items for Fire Victims



The wildfire in Bastrop County is still raging.  So many people are displaced and have no idea if they have a home to go back to.  Unfortunately several other communities are experiencing similar situations on a lesser catastrophic scale.  There will be MANY opportunities to help.  Take advantage of your coupons to get items that can be donated.  Things that we take for granted like toothbrushes, body wash, soap, razors, lotion, etc. 

Here is a list of where you can drop off donations.  Cash can be donated to the ADRN at the address below.  Non-Cash donations are to be dropped off at one of the locations listed.
