In recent days, many readers have called to ask what the disaster area needs most at present, and where we can donate money and materials. Some enterprises in Shanghai also called to ask, what should I do if I want to donate urgently needed items in the disaster area, but I suffer from insufficient transportation capacity?
A: The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau said that due to the inconvenient transportation in the disaster area, citizens are not encouraged to donate scattered small items, and donations are encouraged in principle. Materials donated by enterprises and institutions should be packaged by themselves to facilitate consignment. To donate materials to the Civil Affairs Bureau, please fax to 021-63231716, indicating the name, quantity, weight, contact person and telephone number of the relevant materials. The Civil Affairs Bureau will contact the civil affairs department of the disaster area as soon as possible to confirm the need, and contact the donation unit as soon as possible to receive the materials and transport them to the disaster area.
The acceptance points of donations in civil affairs are as follows: Shanghai Social Donation Leading Group Office, address: Jiangxi Middle Road/room KLOC-0/615, donation hotline: 632 15978. Special account for disaster relief funds of Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, account name: 310066610149103653, bank of communications (60 1328).
Bank of Communications Shanghai Branch opens up a green channel for disaster relief remittance. All donations for disaster relief will be given priority during lunch break, and the corresponding remittance fee, production fee and handling fee will be exempted.
It is also known that the China Red Cross Jet Li One Foundation initiated the Shanghai New Hump Action Team to provide transportation guarantee for the collection and delivery of relief materials. From May 17, the company will provide a flight with 4 tons of space every day to transport materials from Shanghai to Chengdu Shuangliu Airport. Today, two flights of goods have been delivered to the disaster area.
