We want to thank everyone for your tremendous outpouring of generosity. In the few days since Operation Ryan’s Hope started collecting, our drop off sites and warehouse space are now overflowing with donations. It is so heartwarming to see the Bay Area’s response to this disaster and the extraordinary desire on everyone’s parts to give and help out in some way.

Because of the enormous number of donations we have received we are now in desperate need of:

TRUCKING - to deliver our goods to the Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and surrounding areas.

WAREHOUSE SPACE – with easy access for truck pick-up and deliveries

GAS CARDS – To cover fuel needed for donation delivery and pick-up

To help out with any of these please call: Operation Ryan’s Hope – 650-784-1126

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO HELP US GET OUR REMAINING PALLETS OF SUPPLIES TO THOSE IN NEED.

I can not express to you my feelings and gratitude that so many people have responded. What we thought was going to be one truck load as evolved to almost 8 truckloads. We are sorry that we have to turn away clothing donations, but our main focus now is to get the supplies that we have to the people that need it. We hope that with everyone's help we can accomplish our goal.
