      So volunteer pilots at RDU are flying supplies to coastal NC where many roads remain blocked. Folks can "Amazon Prime Now" (not Prime but *PRIME NOW*) directly. Send non-perishable food, diapers or formula etc. to 1725 E International, Morrisvile, NC 27560 https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/215T59GWNJ5ZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_ws_obbPBbKPWTN4H …pic.twitter.com/LlXsX0EHb4

      Also local folks can drop off their unused or new hurricane supplies directly at RDU or at the Dean Smith Center at UNC—the truck is supposed to be leaving or Lumberton, NC around noon today (Friday, 21st).https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1042551462025469952 …

      Chapel Hill/Carrboro folks: A truck in front of Dean Smith Center is being loaded up with non-perishable goods headed for Lumberton, NC—a poor town— which was badly flooded by #Florence. Truck leaves Friday noon. Bring your hurricane leftovers! https://goheels.com/news/2018/9/18/football-goheels-exclusive-filling-up-the-truck.aspx … pic.twitter.com/Bdrz5R1frm

      You don't have to stick to the wish list. Non-perishable food, health/care related staples, baby formula/diapers—they can always be used and are needed in the short-term. Zip code is 27560, there is two hour delivery on https://primenow.amazon.com/  (note, this isn't regular prime).

      Ordinarily, I advocate giving cash to on-the-ground organizations and flying in supplies in small planes isn't the most efficent method. But it makes sense right now in NC given road blockages and preponderance of immediate needs. Too bad I don't like flying in small planes. 🛩️

      (I heard that they are open to taking people along. I'm tempted, terribly tempted and would've pushed through my dislike of small planes but am behind on a bunch of deadlines due to the hurricane so can't go! Also better a crate of canned food than me 🤷‍♀️)

          Triangle friends: Anyone know a manager at a Target store? The operation is having difficulty having orders pulled quickly. Also, I'll be there today and likely tomorrow, will send an update but as of now, anyone can still "Amazon Prime Now" supplies to them. Still flying. 🛩️

          Update. Triangle folks can still drop off supplies at RDU (General Aviation) till tomorrow (Sunday) 6p, but "Amazon Prime Now" is no longer within delivery window. But here's another way you can help with a current needs list: https://needslist.co/ccraleigh https://twitter.com/amanda_levinson/status/1043576177531781121 …

          Plenty of supplies people can "crowdbuy" here: we are putting in orders for pallets on an ongoing basis, more being added all the time: https://needslist.co/ccraleigh
