This weekend a pop up donation drop site is scheduled to collect supplies critical to the relief efforts for Puerto Rico. You may donate on Sunday, October 1st near the High Street A/C Subway on Cadman Plaza West between 2:00 – 5:00 pm. Here’s what they are asking for:
- Diapers
- Baby food

All of the items received will be transported to one of the eighteen official NYC FDNY/EMS collection sites established across the five boroughs last week.
