Needs for Weeks 3 and 4
We will most likely need one or two trucks to pull goods down to LA this week. If you have a truck for this please email me with the size and year, people it can carry, the size of tow hitch it has, and the electrical hook up. Your help here is appreciated.
Currently the needs for your trips have changed so for those of you who are leading collection efforts take note. It will be my intent to contact the Spring Road Web master and see if he can set up a button labeled supply updates where you can go and regularly check for these and I won't have to send them out. (See link to Spring Road Katrina Relief in the left pane of the blog)
We no longer are in need of food for our trips. The host church Tammany Oaks wants us to share in their food program. Please make a note of this.
Please only collect the items above as it is getting very difficult to coordinate getting all the items we have collected down to LA. Trucks are very hard to come by.
As a team we are seeking the use of a large 20 to 24' panel truck to haul items. We can drive it down and back in two days. If you can help with this it would be much appreciated.
We also are seeking a 12 to 14 foot enclosed box trailer for hauling goods.
Please contact me immediately if you can help with those transport needs.
In closing, momentum seems to be slowing down. Let me assure you of this, the need is not. In fact people come in everyday needing help. Some having just gotten back to the area to see what has really happened. We took 21 in week 1, 40 last week, I want 50 in week three and lets see if we can take 75 in week 4. Talk to your friends, your neighbors, send this email and the web addresses out.
Lets keep moving for our brothers and sisters in need in LA.
