You are making a difference! Let's go, Okeechobee!

We leave Friday at 4 a.m. for the Taylor County Sheriff's Office to help!

Please get your donations by midnight by Thursday evening to make the trip.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has donated or called asking what was needed.

After a phone call this morning, I got a list of required items directly from those on site.

Those items are:

Yard cleaning tools, power and hand tools, household cleaning products of any type, hygiene products for adults and children, including diapers for both, and tampons, pads, etc.

Please bring new bedding towels or socks (not used), new gas cans or camping fuel, baby “squeeze”-style food packets, diaper rash cream, baby shampoo, and baby care items.

Non-perishable items of all types, including snacks or dehydrated foods.

Animal feed, animal health-related products, bedding, and power tools.

Specifically, dog and cat food supplies are low.

Water seems to be an item that FEMA has supplied; however, hydration sports drinks and packs of drink enhancers (tea, flavored, hydration) that can be added to water can also be helpful.

Batteries of all sizes are also in need.

Thank you all,

Sgt. Jack Nash, PIO
