To be entered in the drawing, participants only need to bring a case of water. Each case will grant an entry into the drawing.

Organizers will also be accepting diapers and toiletries as entries, with every two items as an entry.

All donations will be distributed by Cathryn Harbolt, an Ironton native who now lives in Dayton.
