Biloxi supports two Ida relief efforts

Fire stations throughout the city will be accepting cleaning supplies and dry goods for Hurricane Ida victims in Independence, La.

The fire stations will begin accepting items — but no clothing or money — Saturday at 8 a.m.

Additionally, a team of volunteers from the Biloxi Fire Museum and Biloxi firefighters will be leaving Wednesday for a seven-day relief effort in Independence, an Ida-decimated community of less than 2,000 outside Hammond, La. Those wishing to make a safe and secure donation to that effort can do so online by clicking here. As of this afternoon, the fund was at $1,245 of its $10,000 goal.

“For those who want to drop off things at a fire station, please remember that we are in a pandemic,” said Chief Administrative Officer Mike Leonard. “It’s best if this is a drop-off. We cannot have the public inside the fire stations, and anything dropped off must be during daylight hours.”
