Welcome

I created this blog after the Tornado Disaster in Alabama to provide info to people who would like to support the cause. Please see links for info on churches and organizations who are offering assistance to families across Alabama. By following the website links, you will find more info on how you can donate and volunteer... plus drop sites for water, food, clothing, etc. Please see the list of suggested items for collection. So many organizations and associations are getting involved and mobilizing their efforts and resources to help the affected communities. To find out more & to stay up to date on the progress of relief efforts, go to http://al.com/. All volunteers must register by calling: 2-1-1 (in-state), toll-free: 888-421-1266, or online at http://servealabama.gov/. Thank you for whatever you can do to help.


You can email "Alabama Disaster Relief Info" at alabama.relief.info@gmail.com.

God Bless!!
