LBC will ship Balikbayan boxes for free for Ondoy relief goods

I was browsing LBC website today trying to find out how much to send a box and came across their way of helping out Ondoy victims. Anybody can drop off their balikabayan boxes in ANY LBC office. For the tri-state area box size should be 28x18x17 only. And they will not accept used clothes, that's the only catch. Here is the list of things that are needed and can be shipped for free. The box should contain the name and address of the sender.
canned goods
rice (bigas)
new clothing
towels
blankets
cookware
utensils
toiletries (soap,toothpaste, toothbrush, detergent)
antidiarrheals
tylenol and motrin for adults and kids
water purification tables
oresol
maybe some kids coloring books and new toys
childrens clothes

They will send the boxes to the LBC foundation and they will be responsible in distributing the relief goods to the charities. One receipient is the ABS CBN foundation. Remember, shipping is free all you need to do is pack it in the box and drop it off at the center.

Here is a list of drop off centers in the NJ area. Unfortunately, there is none in Connecticut but my hubby works in NJ and is willing to drop off your boxes.
