Where To Donate Hurricane Harvey Relief Supplies In Manhattan Beach

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA – The Manhattan Beach Unified School District and the City of Manhattan Beach have joined up with service organizations, churches, and residents to start the Aid Celeveland Texas Now (ACT) campaign to aid those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Cleveland, Texas, a small town of 8,000 residents, is one of the many communities around Houston that went underwater, according to a City of Manhattan Beach statement. The Cleveland Independent School District, which has been closed for the past week, serves 4,100 students – 85% of whom are on meal assistance plans.

Manhattan Beach Unified School District chose to help Cleveland because it's the hometown of Mira Costa's principal, Dr. Ben Dale. Manhattan Beach is collecting items which they have indicated will be their greatest immediate need, and ACT will deliver them to Cleveland next week.

Each location has specific donations they will accept. Collection events will take place September 5 & 6 at the following locations and times:
