Dear Friends and Colleagues,  

If you have any plus-sized clothing you would like to donate, we have a
way to get them to Alabama.  (I would assume shoes would also be
needed.)

Just bring your items to campus and get them to the Student Development
office.  The National Pan-Hellenic Council and the InterFraternity
Council have generously offered to box and ship these items.  

Didn't you really need to clean that closet out this weekend anyway?  

If you have questions, feel free to contact our office.

Thanks,  

Linda

Subject: [UTCSTAFF] Katrina Donation Request (plus sizes)

Hello:

As a larger person I feel strongly about this request for clothing.
It's harder to find plus-sized clothing than "normal" sizes, even
when one has not been displaced. Just delete away if you're not
interested.





 From a friend's Sociology ListServ:

"I spoke with a woman named Rosetta at Community Action in Alabama
today.  They are assisting hundreds of people displaced by Hurricane
Katrina.  One of the things that is in very short supply is clothing
for larger sized people.  If you can spare any clothing above a size
16 for women, or above an XL for men, I would encourage you to send
it to the address at the bottom of the email.

Rosetta has expressed that they also have a shortage of toiletry
items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, tampons and sanitary
napkins).  They can also use diapers in all sizes.

Please circulate this request widely."

The address to ship to is:
Community Action (Phone # 251-626-2646)
26440 North Pollard Rd.
Daphne, Alabama 36526







Thank you,

Rebecca Targ
