With Florida left in devastation after Hurricane Ian barreled through last week, Gleaning For The World is responding.
GFTW will be back in front of Sam’s Club on Ward's Rd. in Lynchburg this week to continue their collection of disaster relief supplies on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 10am until 6pm all three days.
The team at Gleaning is collecting supplies such as nonperishable foods, hygiene items, baby formula, diapers and other baby supplies, as well as items like gloves, trash bags, laundry detergent, flashlights and batteries. Paper products and kitchen supplies are also needed.
GFTW is also asking for pet foods (wet and dry), leashes, food bowls, and bedding to help comfort the animals as officials seek to reunite them with their owners.
All donations must be brand new in unopened packages.
Financial donations are also needed and can be made online at GFTW.org, or mailed to PO Box 645 Concord, VA 24538.
Donations can also be dropped off at Gleaning’s offices located at 7539 Stage Road in Concord, VA between the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday through Friday.
