No More Sandbags Available Until Saturday at Noon
Additional bags will be available for distribution starting at noon, Saturday.
The DC Department of Public Works said today that the demand for sandbags by District residents exceeded its supply of about 7,000 bags. As a result, DPW discontinued distributing bags at 5 pm.
DPW will receive a shipment of about 2,700 bags by Saturday morning that will be available for pick up by District residents starting at noon, Saturday, Aug. 27, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Residents, with D.C. identification, may pick up sandbags (up to five per household) at RFK Stadium. Distribution will continue until the supply is exhausted.
