[Ansteorra] Final plan for Donating to West, at Regional Fighter Practice

[Courtney Anderson]

In lieu of collecting items for the West victims. They have been overloaded with material donations, We are putting together a food drive, or donations request for the capital area food bank. We will also be putting together a blood drive in roughly two months. There is a mass of donors giving blood right now which is great, but, as the amount of donor tapers back down to normal, and blood only having a shelf life of 56 days and platelets only 5 days, we are going to try to set up a drive somewhere in that time. More details of that will come later.

They prefer money donations due to their ability to buy in bulk, but they will not turn down food items as well. Soooooo if you would like to bring one or the other I will be accepting food and donations and will take them all to the food bank in Austin. If you would like to donate cash or check I will also accept those donations and will turn it over as a donation from yourself, or as an anonymous donation whichever you prefer, or you can donate online.

During the Southern Regional Fighter Practice, the Shire of Ffynnon Gath with be collecting canned goods to donate to the Capital Area Food Bank located in Austin to aid the families in West, TX. We would like to encourage everyone to bring at least one canned good to donate if you are able. Courtney Anderson will collect all the the canned goods to drop off. They are also accepting monetary donations if people prefer. Please see the link below.

Capital Area Food bank here in Austin was coordinating taking food packages to those in West and they requested monetary donations to the food bank as they have the ability to purchase in bulk with monetary donations - http://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/
