We thankfully were spared but our neighbors were not," the store posted on their Facebook page. "One of our moving trucks will be heading out Thursday to bring supplies to affected areas. So help us, help them. I will be in the shop from 930am- 4pm tomorrow & Wednesday and can come back after 5pm if anyone needs to drop off after working hours!" They are collecting tarps, cleaning supplies, canned goods, paper towels, work gloves, trash bags, water, and other supplies. The store says they will be making multiple trips to Jefferson Parish over the coming weeks, and they also will be donating sales from t-shirt sales to help survivors.
