Mission update: Last call for donations
By Wade Kwon
We leave for our Magic City Mission on Easter morning, but we could still use a few more items.
Our Hands on Birmingham team of six volunteers will be working next week with Hands on New Orleans to help rebuild the city. Thanks to your generosity, we’ll be taking enough donations to fill two pickups, including refurbished laptop computers from TechBirmingham, a new chainsaw, cleaning supplies and goodies for the long-term volunteers and staff there.
If you’d like to help, you still have time to give — check out the wish list, which shows what’s still needed and drop-off points near you.
Please consider a gift card (easy to transport, fits all budgets, doesn’t expire):
You can order them online or at store locations. (If you have them shipped, please send them directly to Hands on New Orleans, 2309 Dryades St., New Orleans, LA 70113.)
The drop-off deadline is Wednesday, April 4, so hurry!
We’ll send you postcards from New Orleans throughout the week as we help our neighbors in Louisiana and remind them that Birmingham still cares. Thank you for your support.
