*We need Donations & Volunteers*
Currently we are assessing the damage caused by Hurricane Ida in the Gulf Coast. We are scouting locations within the affected area. Over the course of the next few weeks we will be gathering supplies and collecting donations to make a trip to assist in the recovery of those effected.
We would appreciate any assistance from our community!
We are specifically needing the following items donated:
• Cases of water
• Cleaning supply/ Disinfectant
• Large tarps
• Diapers
• Children Items
• Rakes & Shovels
• Dog & Cat Food
• Gloves
• Masks
• Toiletries
North Rome Church of God has graciously allowed us to use their facility as a drop off point for donations. We will be able to receive donations at their warehouse starting this Wednesday (September 2, 2021) and then Monday through Friday 8AM to 5PM. Follow the RomeGaCares signs once you get to the church!
