From the city of Shawnee:
The most critical needs right now are:
1-cloth masks*
2-donations to local charities helping to respond to those with the greatest needs. (Ex. Shawnee Community Services, United Way, Harvesters etc.)
3-blood donations, American Red Cross is in dire need of blood donations. More information here.
4-donating specific items:
Shawnee Community Services is asking for:
Nonfood:
• diapers sizes 5, ; baby wipes
• dish soap and laundry soap
• toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant.
• Money for $20 gasoline assistance or QT gift cards
Food: canned meats: especially chicken, pork n beans, chicken/tuna salad kits, cracker sandwiches, protein or cereal bars, pop top can fruit or fruit cups. They also will receive non perishable food deliveries at their location from HyVee, Walmart or others if preferred.
Our Fire Department initially passed along this request for masks to go to the county for all emergency responders. We would now like to stock up for Shawnee first responders and other staff (Public Works, Parks Dept. who are still out and about and may come into contact with others). If you have extra masks, or wish to make more, or wish to make a few for the first time it all counts and helps!
If you have masks to donate, please email the office at office@shawneenaz.org.
