How To Get Help To The South

Update: For those of you that read this earlier, I need to apologize for the mis-understanding in this post. I was working on it late last night and it was published early in error.

Please note: Your donated items are needed by the LDS Humanitarian Services, however the items you bring in may not be what is distributed to the victims in the South. LDS Humanitarian Services are very specific about what gets sent and where. Also, Humanitarian donations need to be made at specific Dessert Industries. So, be sure to call yours and make sure they are a participating Humanitarian center.  GO HERE for more information.

Again, my apologies for the early publication. I really must stop working at 2 am. 🙂

As most of us have seen, the Southern area of the US (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee & Mississippi) are in big trouble. The devastation is tremendous. When I look at the pictures one can't help but think of our own venerability with our homes sitting on the Wasatch Fault. We, as couponers are in a unique position to help. Plus, being in Utah it's easier than you think.

Pulling together in these times of need is one thing I think Utahan's are very good at. I just went through my own small stock pile and found plenty of items that are needed. So, now what? I have my box how do I get it to the people that need it most?

Utah,  Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada  Oregon, and Washington can drop off donations at your local Deseret Industries store. How easy is that! Most of us live within in a few miles of one. Go HERE to find a location. You should call ahead first to make sure yours is a participating Humanitarian Services location.  Also check with your church, many churches across the State are pulling together to gather collections.
