Mayor Hendricks noted, “As part of our planning and coordination, we have been in contact with the United States Conference of Mayors and Houston officials who would like to share the following guidance with local groups and individuals still interested in participating.”
DONATION GUIDELINES
- Immediate needs include toiletries, cleaning supplies, and diapers.
- Please do not send clothing, bedding or furniture at this time.
