So far, we're only supporting two INGO members and we haven't had any other donations yet. I know they want popcorn, however I just sent out a case to them and I don't know how fast they go through it. Since techres will likely be handling the shipping, check with him to see what he's sending out and what he needs help with.
Here's a list of some of the things that went out this morning to give you an idea:
Baby wipes, razors, mouthwash, toothpaste, deodorant, dental floss, eye drops.
Hot chocolate packets, playing cards, powdered drink mix singles (iced tea, kool aid, etc), coffee singles, Kraft Easy Mac, cookies, season salt, candy, and 14 pounds of microwave popcorn. Also included a couple of little surprises but since they both read the board (obviously), I can't disclose them.
I know they have a tough time getting a lot of staples that we take for granted (like mouthwash for example). No pork products (the bacon bits are there in spirit!), no porn, no horror comics (on Afghanistan's prohibited list for some reason), toiletries should be scent-free if possible (soap, shampoo, baby wipes, etc.) unless otherwise specified. I'll try to be more specific if and when I get some better information.
