Walmart has donated canned goods and household supplies for the Oxford community! A drive-through supply pickup will be held at the old Hayakawa Warehouse, located at 10 Industrial Park Dr., on February 1, while supplies last. Available items may include bottled water, cereal, crackers, canned vegetables and soups, toilet paper, paper towels, and bleach.

Cars will be directed through the parking lot, and a volunteer will load supplies into each vehicle. All vehicles will receive the same items while supplies last.
