Powers says this is the least they could do, considering the they received lots of help when Springfield was hit by a tornado in 2006.  The donations can be dropped off at the shelter today and tomorrow between 8:30am and 5:30pm.  The shelter is located at 1001 Taintor Road, just north of the state fairgrounds.
