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.”
