Do you have any information or connections that could let me know what kind of donations they might need for the people they are expecting. I lead a cub scout den and was thinking this might be an opportunity for them to put together some kind of small care packages, but I don't know what is needed or where it should go. Can you send me a PM with any info you know?

Thanks.
