Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management
The FBCOEM has put together a list of all sites acting as donation drop-off and distribution centers. Donation distribution locations are areas where evacuees in need can go to pick up goods. Donation drop-off locations are where folks may drop off donations for those in need. Please do not drop off items at distribution centers. Please refer to the list to see which items are being accepted as different drop-off locations may have an overabundance of some items.
