Hurricane Ida recently caused hardship to many residents, particularly in Louisiana, but in other states and regions as well.
A group of individuals from the local extended community assembled to discuss and plan what it could do to make the lives of those who have suffered as a result of Hurricane Ida better. This group, made up of individuals from various local church and non-profit organizations, goes by the name of Concerned Citizens of Effingham and Surrounding Counties.
Concerned Citizens reports on its plan to provide some disaster relief. The group is seeking donations of such items as non-perishable foods, bleach, toiletries, paper towels, bath towels, soap/body wash, cleaning supplies, toilet tissue, sanitizer, wipes, water, disposable diapers, etc.
