A new round of supplies are being collected for hurricane victims in south Texas.
Vicki Riley, one of the Bowie organizers for hurricane relief, said the volunteers will be taking donations at the old NAPA building at 203 Smythe Street in Bowie from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 7.
At this point the needed supplies focus on cleaning items for inside and outside.
Tools for outside will include things like scoop shovels, rakes, tree and shrub trimmers. Other items may be heavy-duty trash bags, mosquito and bug spray, fans, rubber gloves, masks, rubber boots, work gloves and similar items.
They will not be accepting diapers (adult or child), clothing or shoes.
There also has been a call for school supplies and a need for easy open nonperishable food.
These supplies will be going to Orange County. Call Riley at 841-4365 with any questions.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
