The collection area is open 24\/7 and accepts food items, pet supplies, baby items, toiletries, and household items. Neighborhood news reporter Jeydah Jenkins stopped by on Thursday to get a look at the outpouring support.<\/p>\n
Gloria Canales, a Robstown resident who donated to the drive, encouraged others in the community to help.<\/p>\n
“Be generous. Okay? Blessing other people you get blessed yourself. That’s why I do it. And I believe in God and he’s in my heart,” Canales said.<\/p>\n
The collection table will remain at the airport until Friday, October 31st.<\/p>\n
