The non-profit organization is looking for urgently needed items for care kits and donations for the disaster relief fund it has set up.
AUSTIN, Texas – The Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN) is calling on Austin residents to donate relief supplies and funds to help the victims of the deadly tornadoes that have struck several states.
The organization said it will be collecting essential items for care kits and donations to send to the affected areas in the coming weeks.
Toiletries include blankets, towels, and personal toiletries. ADRN requests that these donation items include encouragement for the survivors. Kits can be customized for men, women, children, or entire families.
Residents can donate to ADRN headquarters or the Hope Family Thrift Store in Austin. For a full list of items included in the kits, click here.
ADRN is also soliciting donations for propane heaters as temperatures begin to drop in affected states.
“Giving the survivors the essentials of their lives makes a huge difference,” said ADRN Executive Director Daniel Geraci. “It is the first step towards hope and recovery for people who have just gone through what is probably the worst trauma of their life. We want to get these important things to our neighbors in the Midwest as soon as possible and let them know that they are not alone in this crisis. “
The Heartland Tornadoes Disaster Relief Fund was also established to raise resources for individuals and families affected by the storm. According to an ADRN press release, the funds will cover emergency needs such as temporary shelter, emergency supplies, food and other essentials. The funds are also used for the reconstruction and restoration of houses.
