Food
Non perishable food supplies…such as canned protein (chicken & tuna) and peanut butter.
New Creation Church is feeding 200+ people breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. They have a need of perishable food items such as eggs, milk, fresh fruits & vegetables and sack lunch items (bread, sliced meats, and cheeses).
New Bibles (NIV or NLT)
Walmart gift cards are being requested for personal items
Coolers (cube shaped) on wheels for ice storage
Plastic storage bins
Wheel barrels
Trash bins on wheels
Work gloves
The need for the plastic storage bins is great! As people find some of their belongings-many become discouraged because when they find something they have no way to store & protect it.
Urgently needed household items:
Small fans
Masking tape
Electric cooking or campsite cooking equipment
Working small appliances
If anyone has a used bucket truck for sale or loan it would be tremendously helpful for clearing trees and yard debris.
