7. There is a donation station set up at 2501 Phillips Avenue in Greensboro. It’s the McGirt-Horton Library. They need all kinds of stuff. Food: fresh fruit (or pull tab cans...they don’t have can-openers), bread, peanut butter, jelly, beef jerky...anything you can eat without preparation. They also need hygiene products: soap, deodorant, feminine products, diapers, wipes, toilet paper, etc. They also requested power strips to help people charge their phones.
