Flood Relief Supply Pickup Process
We know this is a tough time, and we’re here to make getting the flood relief supplies you need as quick and easy as possible. Here’s how it works:
What to Expect:
- Check-In & Short Form – A friendly staff member will greet you and give you a quick form to fill out. This just helps us gather what you need—it’s not about eligibility.
- Stay Comfortable in Your Car – Once you fill out the form, you can relax in the warmth and comfort of your vehicle while we gather your supplies.
- Supply Availability & Substitutions– Supply availability depends on donations, so some items may have limits to make sure we can help as many people as possible. If we’re out of something, we’ll let you know and offer a similar item if we can. At some locations, we have designated areas to pick up certain supplies. If you need water, you may be directed to a special pickup area where our team will load it into your vehicle.
- We’ll Bring It to You – Once your supplies are ready, a staff member will bring them right to your car.
Many of the people helping are volunteers who care deeply about our community, and we’re so grateful for their time and effort.
