There has been an outpouring of support for those affected by Tropical Storm Irene. The collection site is jam-packed full of donated goods. View more photos on the district's Facebook page.

September 6, 2011—In preparation for the new school year, the district's collection drive for victims of Tropical Storm Irene is being moved to the former Woestina Elementary School building.

Thanks to the generosity of the entire Schalmont school community, a variety of clothing, household items, cleaning supplies, toiletries, first-aid supplies and non-perishable food is available. 

The items are being made available to Schalmont families, students, staff and businesses who have been temporarily displaced from their homes following Tropical Storm Irene, which caused severe flooding and damage throughout Schenectady and Schoharie counties.

Schalmont community members are encouraged to visit Woestina to pick-up needed supplies (see schedule below). Donations are no longer being accepted except for gift cards and cleaning supplies.

If you will be in need of furniture or are able to donate furniture, please contact Chris Gallo at 518-214-4010. She will be maintaining a list of furniture to be donated. Once individuals are ready to accept such items, they will be contacted so arrangements can be made for pick-up or delivery.

Thank you again to everyone who donated items or volunteered their time to this worthy cause. Your efforts will make an immediate difference in the lives of so many Schalmont families.

• Beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 6 all donated items will be relocated to the former Woestina Elementary School. It will be open for distribution from 11 to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Donations are no longer being accepted except for gift cards and cleaning supplies.
