Please put any items you can contribute in the box under Rita’s porch as soon as you can.
Items especially needed are food (cans, packets of rice, pasta etc), warm winter clothing and bandages. All donations are much appreciated and Rita continues to do great job collecting and taking the items down to central hub.
