JACKSON, Miss. -- Earlier this week the Gulf Coast was hit by Hurricane Michael. There are many needs in the aftermath of this storm. The Millsaps College athletic department is looking to help those in need in Florida and Georgia who were hit hard by this storm. 

During Homecoming Weekend the Majors softball team will be set up at each entrance of the stadium for the football game for any donations.

They will be taking up any type of donations to help those who lost so much.  The items that are needed the most are: water, first aid supplies, baby supplies, bathroom items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, etc.), blankets, clothes, and animal food (dog and cat specifically). All cash donations will be put towards gift cards to help provide any other items needed. 

Beyond this weekend's football game, if you would like to donate or have any questions please contact Head Softball Coach Caroline DeLoach by phone at 601-974-1177 or at deloact@millsaps.edu.  There will be boxes located outside the softball office for anything that you would like to drop off.
