Cairo business collecting for Texas flood victims
posted by Bill Williams -
Sheila Gallagher of Gallagher's Catching Rays Tanning (515 Main Street, Cairo) is collecting donations for those affected by Hurricane Harvey. This started out as a small collection from her customers and the intent was to mail the items to a church in SW Texas. It has gotten so big, that we decided we needed a truck. Sheila's nephew, truck company owner Michael O'Connor, of Hobart, NY agreed to take the load down.
We are collecting:
Toothbrushes/Toothpaste
Mouthwash
Bar Soap
Kleenex
Shampoo/Conditioner
Feminine Hygiene Products
Deodorant
Wipes
Diapers
Baby Bottles
Formula
Sunscreen
Rubber Boots
NEW Socks/Underwear/Bras
Pet Food
Non-Perishable Foods (Soups/Stews/Pasta)
Paper Towels
The truck will leave our area early next week.
