Subject: BJCC Takes in Refugees
The Red Cross has taken in refugees from Hurricane Katrina from South Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. They are staying at the BJCC Exhibition Hall. Needs known at this time are pillows and toiletries, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc. We also understand that there are many children and we were told they could use games, books, etc. You may bring these items to the BJCC or to CAP (1801 3rd Avenue North) if that is more convenient and we will see to it that they are delivered.
If you would like to know more about donating, please call or e-mail Teresa Thorne at CAP Downtown.

For BJCC they need bottled water, premixed formula and Ensure for adults--a canned nutrition drink available in grocery stores.
To go south, they need: Can openers that go around the rim of a can. They need the type of can opener with a point on the end (formerly termed church keys), tents, air mattresses, sterno, cigarette lighters, canned goods with pop tops that can be eaten cold, like Spam, fruit and vegetables.
