WNYT reports that community members in Menands, just north of Albany are running a daily donation drive for the victims of the earthquake in Turkey at 100 Broadway in Menands from 1 to 5 p.m. They are collecting jackets, blankets, sweaters, baby supplies and hygiene products for those injured, homeless, and getting through freezing weather. Several local mosques are contributing to the efforts. Supplies donated go to the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan to be shipped overseas. There are now more than 12,000 dead from the earthquake, with more rubble to search. Read more about this story at WNYT.
