Indian Lake Schools opened Friday morning as a collection point for donations and supplies, according to the district’s Facebook page.
The district will organize donations and help distribute them to the affected areas. Suggested donations include batteries, work gloves, laundry soap, toiletries, garbage bags, paper products, tarps, baby formula, diapers, flashlights, underwear and bras.
Officials will pause on collection donations at the school starting at 5 p.m. today because they are “overwhelmed with materials and so blessed by our neighbors.” They said they do not need anymore clothes, but wrapped, ready made food, tarps, batteries and flashlights are most needed right now.
The Logan County Sheriff’s Office said Friday it did not need more volunteers to help in the continuing search and recovery efforts and asked people to avoid the area. They also asked people to hold off on messaging and calling the office in regards to volunteering for now.
