I just saw this link and thought it worth sharing.

Got stuff to donate? You can take it to the GAP Saturday market Oct. 1. For more drop off locations, go to the link.

Pasted from the link:

?Starting today at designated Greenmarkets in Brooklyn, and Friday, September 30, and next Saturday, October 1, in select markets in other boroughs, food and supplies will be collected from 8 a.m. till 2 p.m. for distribution to upstate farmers who suffered severe damage from hurricanes Irene and Lee.

Here is a list of the food items, dry goods, and health and cleaning supplies desperately needed:

Peanut butter

Snack/granola bars

Paper plates

Disinfectant cleaner

Jelly

Pasta

Paper cups

Canned meals (chili, ravioli, etc.)

Shelf-stable or instant milk

Diapers

Hearty soups

Crackers

Shampoo

Cereal

Cookies

Toothpaste

The program is being sponsored by City Harvest, Regional Food Bank, Move for Hunger, and GrowNYC, the umbrella organization that includes the Greenmarkets. New York State Regional Food Bank will do the distribution.
