I checked with 2nd harvest, and as Pamela suggests, they do need can openers, they accept Sterno, flashlights and new packaged batteries, and they also need feminine care products. The need is great so if this spot is convenient for people it would be great if you could drop off something.

This disaster has disproportionately affected the poor and the elderly and we are all struggling to find ways we can help. Second Harvest Heartland has partnered with FEMA to provide food and supplies to victims of the hurricane, and volunteers at my campaign have put together a food drive. I invite each of you to stop by Thursday evening with a donation. Below is a list of what is most needed. WHEN: Thursday September 8th, 5:00 p.m. to dusk WHERE: Beard?s Plaisance parking lot 45th & Upton, SW corner of Lake Harriet WHAT TO BRING: Bottled water Hand-held snacks like beef jerky, granola or energy bars Peanut butter Canned meat Canned meals like hearty soups or chili Diapers! The food and supplies that we collect will be shipped immediately to the gulf region or to Camp Ripley to aid the evacuees from New Orleans. Thank you. Peter REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
