STEELE CREEK NEWS

Katrina Relief Donations are being Collected at Steele Creek Library

(September 3, 2005) Armstrong Relocation on Westinghouse Boulevard, an agent of United Van Lines, has placed donation boxes for Katrina victims at the Steele Creek Library. Once they collect enough items to fill a truck, they will drive them to the hurricane area.

They need about 25,000 pounds of goods to make a load, so they need lots of stuff. If they exceed that, they'll send another truck load.

Current needs are for non-perishable foods, such as canned meats, bottled water, baby formula and other baby products, and toiletries and other personal items. (They've collected an abundance of clothes so far, so the need for them is not so great.) A list of additional suggested items is below.

If you need boxes or have items to be picked up, contact Armstrong Relocations at 704-944-2936.

Armstrong Relocation staff haven't decided where to take the truck and are open to suggestions. If you are aware of a location where the need is great and perhaps isn't being met, please suggest it. The Steele Creek community might even adopt a forgotten town.

Bring donations to the Steele Creek Library (13620 Steele Creek Road)  from 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Thursday and from 9 am to 6 pm Friday and Saturday. Donations also are being accepted at the Armstrong Relocation office at 440 Westinghouse Boulevard (near Steele Creek Road) during normal business hours.

For more information, contact Cheryl Pitts of Armstrong Relocations/United Van Lines at 704-944-2936 or the Steele Creek Library at 704-588-4345.
