6. Do not take food or clothing to Shelters
We send it to the food banks, Operation Harvest, St Vincent de Paul.

Food is purchased from retailers or donated in bulk by retailers or otherwise obtained in bulk - to avoid contamination.

Clothing, bedding, etc. is "processed" (cleaned laundered) by Goodwill or the Salvation Army or St Vincent de Paul - to control transmission of disease.

We have a lot of people living in very close quarters under stressful conditions in a Mass Shelter -- and diseases travel quickly.

What we need is money.
