Jackson County donation drop-off sites for Hurricane Sandy victims | Community Spirit

Cities within Jackson County are teaming up to collect, package and deliver supplies to victims of Hurricane Sandy.

According to Jackson County Public Information Officer Nicole Grundel, several drop off sites are located through the Jackson County.

All the items dropped off will be consolidated and packaged, then delivered to staging areas in Monmouth County, NJ or Bergen County, NJ.

Officials with the Jackson County Emergency Management Office and the Pascagoula Police Department are on the ground in those communities. They are working alongside local emergency management offices.

They'll be collecting donations from now until Friday, November 16.

Items that will be accepted include: cleaning products, rubber gloves and boots, mops, shovels, industrial strength trash bags, and other non-perishables such as canned food, baby supplies, paper products, clean blankets and linens, jackets, can openers, NEW socks and under ware, new gas cans, and personal hygiene items. Other clothing items will not be collected unless otherwise noted.
