Ransom Everglades is pleased to partner with Christ Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove on a relief drive for The Bahamas. We are collecting supplies and donations from students and alumni today through Friday, September 6, to ensure a timely response. We are seeking donations of supplies identified by The Bahamas as immediate, priority needs; of particular importance are items needed for primary clean-up efforts that are currently in short supply at many donation centers.
To ensure a coordinated effort, we are asking those who wish to contribute to please focus on items according to grade level:
