Donations of provisions to help keep those searching for a missing Portland boy fed and hydrated are being accepted at four Metro locations. Friends of the family, working together in partnership with local businesses and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue logistics coordinator, have established four donation points where people can drop off provisions for the search teams working to locate Kyron Horman, a 7-year-old Portland boy missing since Friday.
Provisions most needed:
- Bottled Water
- Sports drinks
- Juice
- Trail Mix
- Jerky
- Energy/Protein Bars
- Nuts
Individually wrapped packaging is preferred. Non perishables and homemade items are not being accepted.
Volunteers will be picking up donations from these sites daily and taking to the command center.
