Damaris Kunkler, program director for Thrive Allen County, is organizing donations to take to victims of the Moore, Okla., tornado.
Kunkler will leave at 5 p.m. Friday and requests donations be brought to the Thrive office, 12 W. Jackson, by 4 p.m.
“I’ll take whatever comes,” Kunkler said.
Some of the items recommended by The Salvation Army are:
– Bottled water
– Gatorade
– Disinfectant wipes
– Individually wrapped snacks
– Hand sanitizer
– Diapers
– Baby formula
– Hand towels
– Work gloves
– Sunscreen
Kunkler, who moved to Iola from Norman, Okla., said she has many friends and family in the area that were affected by the tornado — none of them were harmed.
“My heart is there,” she said.
She will be in Oklahoma through Memorial Day weekend, helping with recovery efforts in the area. Any questions regarding the drop-off may be directed to the Thrive office, 365-8128.
