WARSAW — World Compassion Network is setting up a collection point for specific disaster relief items at Warsaw Community Church, 1855 S. County Farm Road, Warsaw.

Metzger Trucking has donated a semi-trailer and will drive it to North Carolina as soon as it’s full. The goal is to have it filled by Thursday, Oct. 10, but the organization hopes to have it filled before then.

World Compassion Network, Warsaw, is working through a local ministry in Hot Springs, N.C. All donated items will go to Hot Springs Elementary school to be distributed to people affected by the historical flooding recently caused by Hurricane Helene.

The following disaster relief items are being collected:

• Rakes
• Shovels
• Baby and adult diapers
• Baby wipes
• Feminine personal hygiene products
• Cleaning supplies (bleach)
• Baby formula
• Granola/protein bars
• “Pop-top” nonperishable food
• Juice boxes
• Tarps
• New gas cans
• Trash bags
• Gloves
• Face masks
• Storage containers with lids
• Generators
• Chain saws

At this time, only items on the list are being taken. If you have questions, call (574) 551-4801.

Volunteers will be at the collection point until 6 p.m. during the week and from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday. Donors are asked to please only bring items that are on the list. Any other items will be turned away.
