Adam Goldberg is a longtime Westporter. His company, Aquafence, provides state of-the-art removable flood barriers that work great in emergencies, but are kept out of sight the rest of the time.
Goldberg is sending a 30-foot truck to Houston. He hopes it will be filled to the brim with supplies — donated by area residents.
He’s looking for:
- Non-perishable food items
- Snack bars, granola and fruit bars
- Cleaning materials and detergents
- Diapers and formula
- Clean blankets and pillows
- Soap, shampoo, deodorant and bug spray
- School supplies
- Toys
- Pet food
- Clean, sorted and folded clothes
- Paper products.
Donations should be brought in boxes and bags, labeled with what’s inside. They can be brought to the Imperial Avenue parking lot this Saturday (September 9, 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.).
Please email Goldberg (adam.goldberg@aquafence.com) beforehand, with a list of goods being donated or any questions.
PS: Goldberg’s generosity extends far beyond collecting and delivering much-needed goods. After driving the truck to Houston, he’ll donate it to a relief organization there — for keeps.
He’ll fly home. And no doubt start organizing his next project.
Westporters are doing what they can to help Hurricane Harvey victims. Yesterday, Sammi and Spencer Henske went shopping for supplies.
