Tornado Victim Donations

If my dad was here he would have had the truck already packed and on its way down South, but he’s not so someone has to do it and I’ll take over for him. So with that being said, here are the details for the donations:

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 from 5 pm to 10 pm. If you get there earlier or can't get there at that time, you can drop it off with the Ambulance employees and we will load it when we get there.

Corner of Montauk Highway and Dunton Avenue
East Patchogue, NY

Donations Needed:

If you want to make a cash donation, you can make the checks payable to Ski’s Open Heart Foundation or The American Red Cross.

You can mail checks to PO Box 675 Bellport, NY 11713 and they’ll get where they need to go.
