Most needed items are: Bottled water, non-perishable foods (baby formula, canned foods), flashlights, batteries of all sizes, new blankets (comforters/sleeping bags), new towels and wash cloths, new unopened packages of socks, thermals & underwear, hygiene Products (baby wipes, diapers, & sanitary napkins), toiletries (deodorant, disposable wipes, razors, shaving cream soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, antibacterial hand sanitizer), contractor garbage bags & heavy-duty extension cords, and cleaning supplies (mops, brooms, wipes, sprays, gloves).
