Organizers of the Frisco Really, Really Free Market, (which was launched earlier in the week to provide essential supplies to residents in need), say that donations have continued to roll in thanks to an outpouring of generosity to help with post-Dorian recovery.
However, there are still a few gaps that need to be filled, and an updated list of supplies that are currently and especially needed.
Donations especially needed at the Free Market as of Saturday morning include the following:
