They need the following donations ASAP:

On Thursday the volunteers at the church gave out 400 lbs of food and
had 100 people sleeping in the nearby church's basement Friday.
KatrinaHelp team called up the volunteer via the phone number provided
and the following were stressed by them and confirmed by us:
-All of the mentioned items on the list
