Shopko and NBC26 are just two pallets away from filling the semi truck for our Hurricane Harvey Relief Drive!

It took less than a week for the generosity of everyone in Northeast Wisconsin to fill the truck with donations. 

Shopko employees said they saw an outpouring of support over the weekend. The truck is filled with clothing, food and bottled water.

There is no donation too small, Shopko employees said.

"As soon as the truck is full, we'll send it off to Texas," said Michelle Hansen, Shopko Foundation Manager of Public Relations. "We're hoping to do that Wednesday, Thursday, and working with our team at Spectrum to get the driver ready, but I warned them this morning that the truck is almost full so we hope to have it off to Texas real soon."

If you would like to help, there's still time to donate. The truck will be open from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday before it's packed up to leave for Houston later in the week.
