HANCOCK — Houghton County supply distribution centers have more than enough bottled water to get the community though the recovery process, but still have a strong need for items such as dehumidifiers, fans, face masks, metal rakes, Gatorade, squeegees, wheelbarrows, general cleaning supplies and more.
If you need supplies to help in the recovery efforts or would like to donate, contact one of the donation centers, which includes the Dee Stadium, Hubbell Fire Department, Volunteer Reception Center and Calumet Colosseum.
A full list of what’s needed and contact information for each donation center can be found at coppercountrystrong.com.
