There are so many people in need- and they will be in dire need for MONTHS and YEARS to come. Since Panama City is more heavily populated, it makes sense that a large portion of the resources are going there first. There are some more rural areas located just to the north that received a direct hit, and it is taking longer for them to receive help. In many areas, the roads are still not passable and they are saying it could be a year before power is restored.
So many people have asked me how they can help. I have parents at the school with families in the area, and they are making regular trips to places like Lynn Haven, Blountstown, Callaway, Southport, Mariana, and Clarksville.
South Walton Montessori Academy will be a donation collection point. We will make sure that all donations go directly to the people in need, starting in some of these rural towns and cities. If you would like to drop off any of the following items, please contact Beth at 850-240-0670 and I'll coordinate a time to meet you. Here is a list of the things that I have heard would be most helpful:
Baby Supplies: Formula, Diapers, Wipes
Pedialyte
Gatorade (FEMA is just now getting to some areas and they will be distributing water)
Canned Food (Open and Eat preferably. Some areas do not have gas or stoves to cook)
Bug Spray
Sunscreen
Clean Clothes (I’ve had several requests for underwear- all sizes, men, women, and children)
Dog Food
Powdered milk
For my friends that live out of town, if you'd rather send gift cards for places like Walmart, Lowes, or Target, my staff and I will shop for what is needed and make sure it gets delivered. I set this Go Fund Me page up for the same purpose. 100% of money we receive will be spent on the supplies that our neighbors TELL US that they need. We have several friends that are making trips to hard hit areas daily.
Donations can be sent to or delivered to South Walton Montessori Academy at 101 Eden Gardens Road in Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.
There are a LOT of people that are going to need a LOT of assistance for a long, long time.
Thank you for your support!
