Salvation Army of Augusta collects heat relief supplies
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Salvation Army of Augusta is collecting supplies to help community members who lack access to cool spaces or water during the ongoing heat.
The organization is asking for donations of bottled water, reusable bottles, sunscreen, fans and similar items.
What to donate and where to drop off
Jonathan Raymer, major and area commander for the Salvation Army of Augusta, said the need will carry into July.
“It’s not going to get any cooler in July, right? We all live here. And so those are supplies we can definitely use going into next month,” Raymer said.
Raymer said donated items will go directly to people in the community who are in need.
“Any of those kind of things that you are able — or maybe you have some in excess of — if you want to donate those, we can use those for sure for those people in our community who are in need for that,” he said.
Donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Center of Hope, the Kroc Center or any Salvation Army Family Store. Or you can buy an item on the organization’s wishlist.
