San Diego

Flood donation drives held across San Diego in need of these items

NBC Universal, Inc.

The City of San Diego is asking for people to drop off storm recovery donations for the victims of recent historic flooding at any of four various donation centers around the city on Saturday and Sunday.

The donations were received at multiple donation centers that opened this weekend around San Diego.

Members with the city's Parks and Recreation Department were also filling out sandbags Saturday morning for anyone who needs them.

In some cases, the city says people have been "too generous" and they're no longer accepting clothing at these donation centers.
