HEB is accepting donations from 6am-6pm for one day only

Since mom is in Shady Pines she isn't using any of diabetic supplies. We've got at least a dozen boxes of syringes and test stripes setting around the house.

I know that HEB is taking donations of those five items: diapers, bottled water, tuna, granola bars, or peanut butter on Friday. Each city is supposed to designate one of their locations to drop off the donations at the trailer at that HEB site. In Temple, it's the 31st Street, but I don't know about Waco's-I'd guess the Wooded Acres.

I also know that my church (First Baptist Belton) will be housing about 200 refugees in our gymnasium very soon. I know anything you'd donate to that would go to directly helping the people who will be there. If you're interested in that, pm me and I'll let you know more details as I find them out.

I went to Sams and got 2 cases of water, 2 cases of tuna, a box of diapers, a case of granola bars and a 10lb jar of peanut butter. I took all by the HEB on Wooded Acres afterwards. I wish I could do more.

I'm not sure if anyone else as this info so I'm passing it on

Several churches in our area are taking in evacuees. They need volunteers and supplies. If anyone wants contact info let me know.

Yes, 7th and James Baptist church (next door to the Baylor campus) is housing refugees. They too are looking for donations and help.

Waco Christen Fellowship is another.

Also MCC is going to be welcoming about 50 displaced students to the campus.
