The [[Medical|Medical Committee]] also requires supplies.

We have finished parsing the materials removed from camp, and will shortly be compiling and posting an inventory of our supplies. These supplies will shortly be moved to a secure, T accessible storage location (as consented to by GA on 01-31-2012). If you are interested in helping out with the move, please get in touch with us at any of the contact methods listed on this page.

* '''Tent stakes''': Skinny metal ones and wide plastic ones.
* '''Non-disposable dish & cutlery''': No glass. That's a safety hazard waiting to happen, and we're happy with our no-injury record so far.
* '''Tables''': Folding ones are a favorite.
* '''Plywood and/or pallets''': The ground here is muddy, and we make paths between the tents with this stuff. The stuff we have now is a) not quite sufficient and b) in bad condition.
* '''Blankets''': Yes, we still need these. We've received many donations, but we still need more. If you're planning to join us and take up residence, we recommend bringing two blankets for yourself, plus one additional blanket for every friend you'd like to make the instant you show up.
* '''Warm gloves''': All types, all sizes. This isn't sexy but the weather's going to get increasingly cold as we stay here, and we'd like to keep moving things around and generally taking our hands out of our pockets on a regular basis.
* '''Drivers''': We have a lot of people who have supplies in their homes that they can't easily move on the T. We also have businesses willing to make donations if we can show up and take delivery. Most of the occupiers do not have cars - if you're working during the day and want to help at night, this would be a great way. (If you have supplies in your home, or your business is willing to donate, and you need a driver, contact us here or at [http://www.twitter.com/OBLogistics @OBLogistics].)


Additionally, while food donations are still welcome (and we are head-over-heels in love with Food Not Bombs for all the help they've provided so far) we could use some extra bins to put some of this stuff in so as to disappoint the local rat population. Also someone kindly donated more apples than we can possibly eat before they go bad, so please, no more apples for a week or so.

We have finished parsing the materials removed from camp, and will shortly be compiling and posting an inventory of our supplies. These supplies will shortly be moved to a secure, T accessible storage location (as consented to by GA on 01-31-2012). If you are interested in helping out with the move, please get in touch with us at any of the contact methods listed on this page. Specifically, we need vehicles with large cargo capacity, and many hands to make light the load. The move will be happening the weekend of Feb 24-26.

Donation Requests

As we currently have no camp, there are quite a few things are not currently needed. That doesn't mean you can't help! We still burn through a lot of supplies - we will also, of course, be re-occupying in the future.

We do not have a regular location at which we can currently receive material donations. Please contact us to arrange the logistics of a material donation. As always, monetary donations can be made at the OB WePay.

The following list is the current priority:

Passed Proposals (Selection):

January 31, 2012:

Needs:

Since leaving Dewey Square, we have acquired a lot of stuff. We had an arrangement for a space through the end of January while we look for our next step. Because we are still in a state of flux in finding a permanent space for Occupy Boston, we would like to move forward as Logistics in finding a storage site for the remains of the Dewey encampment until such time as they are needed again.

Proposal:

Logistics proposes a budget not to exceed $450/month (plus fees) for storage. The cost of a 10X25 unit at the storage unit in mind is about $260/month. It is possible that we can get a much smaller unit but we're still in the process of downsizing our inventory so it may still take some time before we can do that. We hope to downsize significantly before we move.

Once a storage location is decided, we will return to the GA to announce the location, accessibility and final dollar amount for the unit.

Reasons for choosing this location: Cheap for the size. T accessible. This means that more than just K*** and J*****, the people in Logistics with a car, will be able to go get whatever supplies we need at any given moment. 

FA: A one time $200 for moving costs.

FA: Payment will be made with the Occupy Boston Debit Card.
