HELP FOR HARVEY SURVIVORS: West Seattleite collecting diabetes supplies to donate

Here’s another way to help Harvey storm survivors in Texas: Donate supplies and/or money for people with diabetes. Joni Campbell is a West Seattleite who has a local dropoff spot – she explains:

I’m collecting insulin (and a few additional diabetes supplies) to send to the needy in Texas through the Insulin for Life campaign that is being coordinated by a local organization, ConnecT1D.

Please see the list of acceptable items and note that the most needed (of course) is insulin. There is a cooler near my front door; feel free to just drop off any supplies you can spare (per the list) and I will deliver them. Address is in the link below under West Seattle. There are several other dropoff locations across the city – please help if you can spare any insulin at this time for those who are in desperate need with all of the flooding. There is also a way to donate cash. Thanks, all!

Scroll down the right sidebar of Joni’s link to find her address. Donations need to be made before Friday (September 8th), she says; shipments are going out next Monday (September 11th).

    Is anyone aware of an organization taking similar donations for Oxygen and/or Catheter supplies?  My diabetic Uncle passed away recently, and he had a ton of extra supplies that we would like to donate somewhere.

      I have not unfortunately.  It’s a shame for good supplies to go to waste when they are so needed.

    I’ll be collecting supplies as long as the cooler is on the porch so all day today, Saturday 9/9.  I have to deliver them tomorrow.  Thanks for the generosity!

Sorry, comment time is over.
