Sen. Barack Obama's Virginia campaign will begin accepting non-perishables and bottled water at 35 statewide offices on Tuesday and Wednesday to help families affected by Hurricane Gustav.

"The families in the path of this storm are in our thoughts and prayers," said Mitch Stewart, director of Obama's Virginia campaign. "We hope this effort provides Virginians a way to show their concern and deliver those in need a little extra support."

Obama's campaign has offices in Richmond, Petersburg and Ashland.
