Some rescue and relief operation centers and individuals have made the following requests:

1.  As many of the victims have no means of cooking food, those donating food are requested to send ready-to-eat food that does not spoil easily.  Make sure that the food packaging could be opened by hand.  Suggested items: Crackers, bottled water (small bottles that even children could carry), canned goods with flip tops, apples, oranges, bananas, plain ham  or cheese sandwiches (no mayonnaise or vegetables that could spoil easily), cookies, bread, dried fruits and hard candy.

2.  For those donating clothing, please send basic and simple clothing.  Nothing complicated.  Suggested items: Slippers, cotton t-shirts and shorts.  Towels and blankets are also needed. Please pack the clothes in plastic bags to waterproof them.

3.  The La Salle Green Hills Relief Operations Center is in need of people who have 4×4 vehicles and are willing to pick-up and deliver food.

4.  The La Salle Green Hills Relief Operations Center, Ateneo de Manila University Relief Operations Center and Xavier School are requesting for more donations of food and clothing.
