The Catawba County United Way (CCUW) is partnering with the Blue Ridge Piedmont Chapter of the American Red Cross to help families in the Claremont area affected by Tuesday’s storm which spawned a tornado.
Approximately 13 homes were destroyed.
To help families as they recover, the CCUW will act as a drop-off location for donations to help those devastated by the storm.
Items being collected include, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning wipes, trash bags, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, soap and feminine hygiene products.
Donations can be dropped off at the CCUW office (2760 Tate Blvd SE in Hickory) Monday – Thursday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The drive will start Jan. 16 and run through Jan. 31.
The CCUW will work with the American Red Cross to get donations to the families.
