Donate Medical Equipment | Where to Donate | ProjectMEND Project MEND takes in donated medical equipment, repairs it, sanitizes it and provides it to someone in our community who really needs it.

If you don’t think people (who live in a state that has gerrymandered, suppressed voting, and done so much to bring voter turnout down to the 5th worst) should be punished for their circumstances, please consider donating to Project Mend, who is helped the disabled. Projectmend.org/donate

I stopped HEB to pick up some things to donate that my neighborhood art gallery is collecting to take to the Hill Country. The night manager saw my cart had diapers, tampons, pads, and cleaning supplies, and said he wanted to pay it forward and added a coupon to my purchase. That is SO HEB. 😭❀️

What I’ve seen online the last few days: β€œTexas deserves it”.

What I’ve seen in person in areas affected: everyone from individuals to volunteers to neighbors to kids to restaurants to our beloved H-E-effing-B (❀️) all mobilizing to protect, support, and heal each other.

Announcing Netlify DB: the database for AI-native development.

Powered by Neon, agents can go from generating static UIs to building fullstack, data-driven apps.

By removing the friction between code & data, Netlify DB keeps agents in flow from prompt to production.

What if your coding agent could go from writing code to deploying itβ€”all in one conversation?

Up next for Agent Week: the Netlify MCP Server.

Built on the Model Context Protocol, it gives AI agents direct access to Netlify’s API & CLI to create projects, deploy apps, and manage infrastructure.
