Most local donation points have now closed due to the overwhelming generosity of local residents. There is now a huge task to pack up the donations and deliver them. On that note many are asking for packing boxes and parcel tape, see below.
For those still wanting to help, global charities are pleading for people to make cash donations so they can ensure that this is spent on the specific items needed and to provide immediate support on the ground. Heavy goods have to be transported and this takes time, cash donations are a much quicker method so people can buy what is needed.
