According to local store owner and manager Elaine Aue, 10 percent of
the entire day's receipts will be donated to tornado victims in the
Washington area. In addition, the store is collecting items to
assist families and volunteers during the cleanup and recovery. Aue
said specifically they are hoping to collect daily hygiene products
such as soap, shampoo and toothpaste for victims, along with
nonperishable food items.
In addition, Aue said there is a need for hats and gloves for the
volunteers who are helping with the cleanup efforts, and she is
hopeful that folks will also bring in those types of donations on
Wednesday.

After the collection of needed items, Aue will personally
