Items requested include: bottled water, canned foods, baby formula, flashlights, and more. Clothes are not being accepted.

Other drop off locations are expected to be announced later.

The Russell County Animal Welfare League and Foster Woods Folk School are also collecting bottled water and dog and cat food for victims through the Knoxville Mutual Aid Collective. Donations can be delivered to the DAV at 155 Owenstown Road between 3-7 p.m. today.
