Rowland Publishing, owner of Tallahassee Magazine, will park a U-Haul trailer at the entrance of The Moon for Thursday’s Best of Tallahassee event.
We ask you to help fill it with food, clothes, toiletries, pet food or any other household supplies, which we’ll transport to E.F. San Juan’s temporary headquarters on Friday. If you’d prefer to make a cash donation, we’ll deliver that as well.
