Town of West, Texas. Donations.

Gallery Furniture in the Houston area, again, is helping those in need ....

..... from the plant blast.

Hopefully private interprises will step up to the plate elsewhere.

We're donating directly .... no Red Cross for us.

kudos ..

a very unfortunate situation.

Did you see where the middle school was located?

I loaded up with boxes ... if we haven't worn or used something in a year ...

.. it's going.

not exactly, but if it was close to the apt complex and the nursing home, saying its fortunate school was out is an understatement. My heart goes out to the entire community.

Before.

Why would you do that? Isn't that what we have government for?

A great and compassionate American.

Hey, we've had liberals in here state that private charities hurt government. You didn't catch the sarcasm, Assup. But that is to be expected from a Dipshit of the Year.

I didn't catch the class in your statement either.

On a serious note, what LL is doing is very commendable. It's how Americans are supposed to act when other Americans suffer a tragedy.

Kudos, LL!

It's not me, we are just kicking in. We helped with Katrina .. just like a lot of others did here in Houston. We worked at George Brown center. I know BigTex pitched in also and I'm sure many others on this board helped out. If not, shame on them.

It's what "Mac" (Gallery Furniture in Houston) does all the time ... uses his facilities and trucks to collect and disburse assistance. If it weren't for folks like Mac we wouldn't know where to take or send the stuff so that those who really need it would get it.

I posted this thread so folks in the Houston area would know specifically and folks around the country (or Texas) might think of working a collection center and transportation in their communities. Even if for the next time.

BTW: Talking about helping. There are a lot of women/children shelters that take clothes and household items to help displaced families get started again and get independent. Some of them leave violent homes with only their clothes on their backs. So we don't have to wait for a catastrophe ... or large, publicized "tragedy"!

They want "gift cards" for the "local merchants" in West, Texas, for the ciizens to use to purchase "stuff" from the local merchants.
