BOSTON (WHDH) – Boston launched a “Help for Houston” drive on Tuesday to collect clothing, blankets, toiletries, diapers, baby formula and non-perishable foods to benefit those affected by Harvey.
By Tuesday afternoon, Boston’s city hall was packed with bins overflowing with donations. One delivery truck even brought 7,000 t-shirts to a donation site.
