We are getting close to our deadline for packing buckets and a few people have asked that I change the progress report a little bit. We have 5 complete buckets plus a lot of other bulk supplies. The question is, what do we most need?
Here it is:
If the size we need is not availabe, go DOWN to the next available size. Otherwise the buckets cannot be sealed and UMCOR cannot store them.
Bleach - We only have two bottles. These need to be a very specific size to fit in the buckets. For each bucket we either need two (2) one quart bottles or one (1) 82 oz. bottle. So we basically either need 188 quart bottles or 94 82 oz. bottles.
Cleaning Towels (reusable wipes) - There need to be 18 in each buckets. We need about 162 of these. They usually come in packs.
Liquid Laundry Detergent - This is another one where size is key. We must have two (2) 25 oz. or one (1) 50 oz. Either way we need about 93 buckets worth, either 186 25 oz. bottles or 95 50 oz.
Dust Masks - Each bucket needs 5. We already have 125, but we still need about 350.
If you can help, it helps if you can email me or call me (242-3333 ext. 204) so we know what's coming. We have had some generous donations of cash so we will be buying supplies later in the week and would like to know what we will already have.
Thanks for all your generosity.
peace,
will

If anyone can find the large (33-45 gallon heavy duty) garbage bags in rolls of 24 that would be great as well. That quantity seems to be hard to find. Since size is so important I hope we can stay in that range.
We are doing great on our bucket donations! We have collected 63 buckets! We only need 37 more! And to think when all this started we thught that this would be the hard part! All those people out there who have provided buckets have done a great job!
