newfisher Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 My wife and I are accepting donated pet and human hair, along with panty hose, to send to the gulf area as they are running extremely low on hair boom materials. We will be donating all packaging and shipping of these items in an effort to help with this EXTREME tradgedy. Please drop by The U.P.S. Store Springfield, located in the Pioneer Plaza next to Safeway. The U.P.S. Store Springfield 1863 Pioneeer Pkwy E. Springfield, OR 97477 Please feel free to contact your hairdressers and barbers for floor sweepings, we will ship as much as we can get!

sharoleb Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh my gosh, I can help w/ this one. I have 3 dogs that shed a TON! I brush them about every other day or so and get handfulls. You are a ways away from me, but I am hoping I can find another donation center here in Ptown. Thanks for sharing, I didn't realize they were collecting.

undrtkr_00 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Cool - great idea. But - what if your hair is already oily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Are they actually using the hair? I heard BP said they wouldn't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I've read that this is mostly for home owners and small business owners, since BP is obviously not helping them. I have a friend in Mobile Alabama and I'm contacting her to see if she knows anyone in specific need of the ones I collect. I'll reply here when I find out what she says.

newfisher Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Are they actually using the hair? I heard BP said they wouldn't use it. I don't think BP has "wanted" to do much of anything except spin the truth. We are just trying to do something positive and keep the people moving forward. I would pack and ship ammo to send there if they would use it, unfortunately my wife, my DR.and my mother are against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
