1) The owner of Hockessin gourmet store / cooking school Chef's Haven is from Schoharie, NY, one of the New England towns that was devastated by Hurricane Irene. In this case, rising waters caused a dam to break, putting three entire towns under water. The owner of Chef's Haven will be traveling to his hometown on Friday afternoon, and is accepting donations of supplies that he will take up to Schoharie. Clothing was one of the items he was asking for, but I see on the town's social networking page (disorganized, so there's no sense linking it here) that they are no longer taking clothing donations. But they probably still need toiletries, diapers, baby formula, non-perishable food, etc. You can leave your donations at Chef's Haven, 1304 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin DE 19707. The number is 302-234-2040.
2) West End Neighborhood House, which provides community services on the western side of Wilmington, is holding a book drive this week. You can donate your books, CDs and DVDs (doesn't matter how old or dusty) at West End's main lobby, or call Carolyn Gordon at 658-2800 or Tasha Warren at 658-4171 for pick up.
