The Hardin County Mayors met last Thursday evening  to launch an effort called Hardin County Operation Sandy to collect items and cash to assist the victims of Hurricane Sandy.   Many individuals are still in need of basic supplies and we intend to send or deliver a truckload of materials to the East Coast.

ReStore is working with ISOH/IMPACT of Waterville, to ensure that the goods we send are appropriate and needed.  ISOH/IMPACT specifically requested that NO blankets, sleeping bags, or bottled water be included in this drive.
