CORTEZ – A distribution center of donated food and supplies has been set up in Cortez in front of the Star Fish Co.
According to Star Fish employees Dana and Nicole, supplies will continue to be distributed at least until Friday, and possibly longer. The two women helped distribute supplies to community members on Oct. 15.
For the time being, hours are noon to 4 p.m. at the supply distribution point.
“We’ve had people from all over bringing food and all kinds of supplies,” Dana said. “People have really come together to help.”
Beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 15, another distribution center will be set up at the Sunny Shores Clubhouse for Cortez residents.
“We will have supplies, snacks, water, etc.,” according to a What’s Happening Cortez Facebook post by Betsy Halliwell Plante. “We will open on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and daily hours will be from 11:30-2 only. Lunch will be provided from 11:30-1.”
Donations of cases of water and Gatorade are needed at both distribution points.
