Hi;
As an organization we would love to drop stuff off today:
is there a phone number so we can co-ordinate with someone at the charity directly before dropping off?

thanks so much for sharing this. i don’t live in the city but it’s nice to see a post that guides people who want to help in a specific direction (other than to send money to the red cross) – because i think we’re all feeling a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of the situation, and many of us don’t know where to begin.
