As the hundreds of Tropical Storm Harvey victims inside the George R. Brown Convention Center turn to thousands, Houstonians who can do so are donating what they can to the cause.

In the past 24 hours since the convention center, which just more than six months ago was ground zero for Super Bowl LI festivities, has seen an influx in donations of toys, clothing, and other supplies poured into the facility.

Houstonians who are otherwise not impacted by the storm seem to be digging into closets and their homes for anything that might help their fellow residents displaced by the storm.

Human help is also needed too as volunteers who might have various social working or psychological skills are in demand. Those evacuating into the convention center are stepping into unfamiliar territory.

What is needed right now, donation-wise?

Toiletries, feminine items, first aid supplies, baby care products, pre-packaged food, and dry clothing appear to be the biggest needs at the moment. Those volunteering have shared an Instagram photo featuring the things that are in demand.

As heavy rains prepare to hit the city once again in the next two days, it appears the convention center will be a temporary home for some for the foreseeable future.
