hoboken/jc relief areas? (Jersey City, Wayne: high school, live, safe)

[sirk98]

Does anyone know where one could go to donate goods for the relief effort in hoboken or jc? Is there a staging area? Wondering also if they need anything more than just food or water...

They are asking for flashlights and batteries, hats, gloves, baby formula, baby food, baby and adult diapers, toiletries, and non-perishable food can be delivered to Hoboken High School (8th & Clinton). They were also looking for NEW clothing and NEW socks and NEW blankets. Please don't bring water, the water is on and safe to drink in Hoboken. They also request nothing in glass.

In Jersey City, donations are being received at:

Barrow Mansion
83 Wayne Street
Open 8am-8pm

They're collecting and distributing non-perishable food, ground or instant coffee, tea, juices, diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, NEW clothing, hats, gloves, etc., board games, coloring books.

Also, blankets are needed at Grandview Terrace Senior Center, 3060 Kennedy Boulevard

This group on Facebook is providing up-to-the-minute "___ needs ___ now" types of requests. And volunteers are reacting in real time. It's pretty great!

In sum, if you bring stuff to Barrow Mansion, these folks will make sure it gets to where it needs to go.
