Forum Index >> Katrina Relief Forum >> Request for donated products

As we hear of needs requests from the field and from the staging areas we are coordinating with, SNEWS will post those requests here. Please do not automatically pack up and send requested products without first calling the contact to be sure another company has not already stepped up and met the request for donated goods.

Agree | Disagree Subject: Buffalo Peak looking for duffel bags  

The battle continues.And the response has been great.

Right now we are in need of 50 duffle bags for the special needs patients at our church shelter facility. These folks are, for example, diabetic, on dialysis,on oxygen etc. They pretty much came in wearing what they owned but we are striving to get them clothes and other essentials. They need a duffle (approx. 4500 to 5000 cubic inches) to put these belongings in and take home. If you can help or know a resource, please pass this own. They DO NOT have to be of the BOMB PROOF type.

I will be working the floor most of the day so rather than e-mail, call me at

1-800-232-2503

Much thanks,

Tommy Smith at the Peak

Agree | Disagree Subject: Huge need for Sun Showers!  

Tommy Smith of Buffalo Peak Outfitters is requesting that we get the word out that there has been a lot of requests for Sun Showers.

Due to the lack of running water in the majority of places they are taking the donations, these have been highly sought after.

We have a team of people at Buffalo Peak assisting in processing industry donation freight, and more headed down there tomorrow. We'll be bringing about about a dozen Sun Showers from our inventory (along with a truckload of other items!), but anything we can do to get them more would be great.

Thank you.
