Basic hygene items are always welcome, we are short on baby wipes in particular. healthy snack foods like granola bars or tuna are a great substitute for meals on patrols. Batteries, Flashlights, headlamps are all in short supply. Anything to better standard of living would be great. Thank you all so much!
