Local veteran’s fills truck after clothing, toy drive for Harvey victims

UPDATE:

The drive was forced to end sooner than expected due to high volume of donations. The truck was filled witin two and a half hours due to overwhelming community response. Organizers say they are still taking donations for gas money to help get the supplies to Houston. Donations can be made here.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

A local veteran’s organization held a clothing and toy drive Friday and Saturday to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Rebuilding America’s Warriors (RAW) held their drive at the Marshall’s parking lot in Palm Desert.

RAW accepted clothing, disposable diapers, baby formula, bedding, toilet articles, toys, and other items of need.

All of the items will be put on a truck and will be driven Sunday to Texas.

Volunteers are still needed, but the organization has already received support from the community.

The drive was held at the parking lot in front of Marshall’s in the Desert Crossing Shopping Center. That’s located on the corner of Fred Waring and Highway 111.
