The Sevier County Lions Club is hosting several drop-off locations in Sevier County for Hurricane Harvey Recovery donations that will be delivered to Texas by Remote Area Medical.
After our community suffered our own “mother nature tragedy” late last year, our hearts break for those in Houston. We know it will be a long, long road of rebuilding for them. As members of the Lion’s Club and Remote Area Medical, our group is collecting specific donations that will be hand delivered to Remote Area Medical and driven down, along with disaster volunteers, and supplied directly to the Houston area hurricane victims.
The Lions Club is collecting these specific items for Hurricane Harvey Recovery:
- Plastic Totes
- Bleach
- Flashlights / Batteries
- Baby Diapers
- Hygiene products
- Tarps
- Clorox wipes
- Cleaning supplies
Drop-off Locations:
Eye Designs Optical
1240 Fox Meadows Boulevard in Sevierville
10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday
Highlands Union Bank
1824 Veterans Boulevard in Sevierville

Remote Area Medical already has personnel on site in Texas and is looking for physicians, nurses, EMT’s, paramedics, veterinarians, truck drivers, general support, and volunteers with flat bottom boats who are ready to do heavy lifting to help those affected by the hurricane.
