Supplies needed at the Roseland Encampments

Greetings!

Note from Carolyn Epple:

Please folks do not bring anything to the camp except for the following wool socks warm gloves space blankets the foil ones, we need six fire extinguishers we need 45 to 50 gallon garbage bags 3 mm thick we need water jugs. Do not bring us bedding. If we could just hold off please and let Susan Chunco and I post what’s needed I think it will go a lot more smoothly. It’s so great the people have the energy and are trying to help out we’re going to make things much harder for those of us who are out there all the time if we do that. We will have a coordinating meeting next Wednesday the 20th at the peace and justice center at 5:30 PM for purposes of coordination. Again I really appreciate people trying so hard but just slow down the wonderful enthusiasm A smidge. Thanks everyone Carolyn

The efforts below are just info.  Please follow Carolyn's direction above.  Gregory


Following up on our agreement at Monday's Homeless Action! meeting, Gail and I visited the Roseland Encampments this morning, and here are the supplies that they requested (and those we supplied) that camp leaders identified:


  • Cold supplies, medicinal, Nyquil, Ibuprofin
  • Emergency blankets - foil
  • Yoga mats, mattresses
  • Batteries and Flashlights
  • Sanitary supplies
  • Cleaning gloves (S-L, 4 each-GF) 
  • Hand sanitizers (10-GS)
  • Bandages, dish soap, condoms
  • First-aid kits (2-GF)
  • Garbage bags (146 industrial bags-GF)
  • Water Jugs - large bottles - Alhambra?
  • Ice chests, ice packs
  • Storage boxes and lids for food
  • Paper plates
  • Aluminum pans
  • Zip lock bags - all sizes
  • Cereals and snacks
  • Rat traps and milk cover crates to keep other pets from being trapped (10 large Victor traps-GF)
  • Gift cards from Wal-Mart, Starbucks
  • Backpacks
  • Brooms and dust pans (3 each-GF)
Gail and I are going to obtain some of these.  Two women who stopped by donated $20 to support  our costs.    I invite others to do what they can.  We should keep asking each week.

Rob and *John Paul (Last Chance) and Rose, George, Charles, and *New York (Rememberance) seem to be this week's contacts.
