The Texas people are stepping up to the plate in a big way to help the Hurricane Ike Survivors. 

At this time there is still a great need for things to be delivered as well as people to go into this area as support for the survivors. M & D Storit have provided a temporary storage unit for items awaiting transit to Hurricane Ike survivors. The key to the unit will be held at Coldwell Banker Green - Mills & Associates at 108 Industry in Bastrop, TX which is located near the intersection of Hwy 71 and Tahitian Drive.

As of this posting the following is still in great need.

Tents

Rubber boots

Rubber gloves

Work gloves

Shovels-flat and round for shoveling mud

Can openers

Hand saws

Gas generators, pressure washers

Bibles

New socks, underwear and bras

Bleach for cleaning

Mops and brooms

Alcohol

Garbage bags

Antibiotic ointments

Rubber tubs to store things in

Rain gear

Camping stuff

Flashlights

Batteries

Lanterns

They are also asking for volunteers to go to the Texas coastal areas for assistance, moral support and organization of the relief efforts. 

The Red Cross in Austin is still in need of volunteers for many things, the number to call is 512-928-4271.
