Help needed because of the storm

Subject: Help needed because of the storm

It has been brought to the attention of the GSA that a bunch of WNY agencies need some help as a result of the storm. They need volunteers to work night shifts, but they also need supplies. I (GSA VP-Jillian Flood - jnflood@buffalo.edu) have the contact information for each agency in case anyone is willing or able to help out with volunteering or donations. We're all very busy and trying to restock our own pantries, but I thought I'd at least pass the information of need along. I actually have all this on a paper copy if that's easier... Just thought I'd get the information out there in case anyone can help in any way!
