Imagine losing your home and everything in it. What might you need? As Port Sulphur residents begin to return to their community to rebuild, they will need everything. The federal government and various relief organizations are helping, but can it ever be enough? Some of the greatest needs right now are as follows--do you have anything you might be able to spare?
Bedding
Towels
Pots & pans
Dishes & cutlery
Blankets
Cleaning supplies
Personal toiletries
