Great stuff, please give it a read and make sure to call Tide at the bottom or use their webpage. Let’s get everyone to call them and see if we can Get “Loads of Hope” to come and help out community!! They are on Facebook and Twitter, so let’s let them know.
Hi Wes, Thank you so much for all that you do. I have an idea that may be helpful. What if we put together a checklist of things to take to help with cleaning up/recovering their properties after they return from the evacuation?
For instance, my family is starting this list:
Bedding (all bedding in the homes may have smoke damage)
Food that is non-perishable (ice may not be available)
Camping gear
Masks
Cleaning supplies
Bandanas
Gloves
Rubber soled shoes
Old clothes
Newspapers (for cleaning)
I also called Tide (laundry detergent company) to request the “Loads of Hope’ truck be sent out to Springerville/Eager. They said the more people that call, the more likely they are to respond to the request. There is also an e-mail option to request assistance. If they get bombarded with requests then maybe we can get help with soap donations or laundry services (free) for people who need to wash smoke damaged items (bedding, clothing). You can get the information here:
