HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson High School Color Guard is working to help some of the Andover tornado victims.
"The color guard does a give back program twice a year," said color guard parent Stefani Thornton. "This year, we decided instead of doing a rummage sale, we decided to help the elementary school and the community in Andover getting school supplies, clothing, hygiene items for those affected in the tornado."
The color guard is looking for
Arts and crafts items
Backpacks/sling bags
Monetary donations
Shampoo and conditioner
Body wash and deodorant
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
Hair care items
Blankets
Small Stuffed animals
Pre packaged snacks
Bottled water
Band-aids
Gloves
Alcohol wipes or baby wipes
You can just get the items to the high school and the nine color guard members will get them organized to take in a couple of weeks.
"We'll be needing the items by the 11th to deliver them by the 13th," Thornton said.
The color guard will be taking the items to administration from Andover's Prairie Creek Elementary. That school is closed for the rest of the year due to storm damage.
