North Texans continue to step up with donations for Harvey evacuees.
The city of Dallas had to open a second donation drop-off location at the Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center on Mark Trail Way in Oak Cliff Saturday.
Several volunteers helped people unload donations in the parking lot. The donations were then separated into piles.
The city says donations will go to people at shelters in the North Central Texas area.
Lissett Marin and her sister arrived at the donation drive with several items.
“We have a lot of family members that were affected by [Harvey] in the Beaumont area so we were really sad about it so we wanted to help,” said Marin.
