At this point, it appears there is nowhere to bank or shop. If everyone went through their closets and did a "spring cleaning" we could send lots and lots of clothes to folks who don't have anything on their backs. I recall when this happened in Florida a few years back, you could send to outlying post offices in care of "Red Cross" and the items could be handed out through the Red Cross or another group. As things settle down a bit and Joe (Joe who??) gets back into his home area, the needs could be re-evaluated and send what is necessary? Just thoughts.
