Long Beach, Mississippi Needs

A new list will be coming soon, however we've left the February list posted as an example of the extreme conditions that Long Beach, MS continues to endure. We did manage to fulfill the items below and our current efforts are focused on fundraising, but the lack of basic day to day materials is an ongoing reality everyday in Long Beach, MS.

FULFILLED
Needed (updated February 28, 2006):

The list below was sent by Veronica, Mayor’s Assistant, Long Beach, MS -- they are in desperate need of these simple items. If you can help with any of them, or many of them please contact:

Lindsay Shields
Director of Long Beach Cares
Long Beach CA Helping Long Beach MS
(562) 621-0521 (Periodic transportation is being arranged for the next several months -- two pallets will be shipped this week!)

"The following are lists of supplies needed for the mayor’s office, the city clerk’s office, the police department, the municipal court and the technology operations office. With no downtown, and no tax base, we have no money for things as simple as office supplies. We need so many things, and are grateful for anything you might be able to send our way."
