Anchor Point Disaster Response Program
A big thank you goes out to all who made donations for the 72-hour buckets for disabled and low-income residents. A few items are still needed, including portable, battery-operated radios; small first aid kits; can openers; flash lights with batteries; bug dope; emergency blankets; and duct tape. There is a drop-off spot at the Anchor Point Senior Center between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., weekdays.
If you haven’t got your own 72-hour kit together, now is a good time to do it.
