Hurricane Harvey Relief Donation Drop Off

Brothers and Sisters In Christ,

Thank you for your generous response to the call to provide disaster relief supplies this past week. Across ours and surrounding communities, the response has been most heartening. The needs, however, are still great – and in a constant state of flux. As these needs change, so will our response to them.
For now, St. Hyacinth we are receiving specific requests from area agencies for:

• Baby formula
• Baby food
• Disposable diapers (baby and adult)
• School supplies for all grades: notebooks, notebook paper, pencils, pens, glue sticks, etc.
• Non perishable and packaged food items (no expired items please)

We are still accepting:

• Bottled water
• Household cleaning products (don’t forget bleach!)
• Personal care items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, towelettes)
• Feminine hygiene products
• Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates)
• First aid supplies and batteries
• Gift Cards (Walmart, Target, Walgreens, HEB, Kroger, CVS. (Please indicate amount on card.)

We are not able to accommodate the collection of clothing or furniture items at this time.
