New phone number for George R. Brown Convention Center

New relief hot line at GRB

A new telephone number has been established at the George R. Brown Convention Center to handle all questions and issues related to relief efforts at the downtown facility. The number is 713-209-2000.

Immediate need for specific items

Relief officials have an urgent need for :
-- Play pens, baby bouncers and child safety seats
-- New women’s clothing, especially plus size (2x –10x) foundation wear. 
-- New clothing for men, women and children
-- New underwear all ages and sizes
-- Sheets, blankets and pillows for cribs and regular beds
-- Feminine hygiene products
-- New shoes, all ages and sizes

Do not take items to the George R. Brown Convention Center or the Reliant Astrodome complex. They are not handling donations anymore. Take donations to any of three new dropoff locations:  Gulf Haven Church at 10716 Sabo Road; West Houston Church at 2390 West Sam Houston Parkway North at Hammerly; and Berean 7th Day Adventist Church, 2119 Saint Emanuel St. Donations will be transported to two newly appropriated warehouses for distribution to all local shelters.
