It has been heartening to see how many people across the nation have reponded to all the needs created by the recent devastating outbreaks of tornados in Oklahoma. Moore, Oklahoma has received a great deal of media attention following the monster storm. The communities of Shawnee and Harrah were struck on Sunday. Luther, Little Axe, Newcastle, south Oklahoma City, and Carney were hit Monday as part of the storm system that demolished Moore.
If you wish to make a donation by credit card or check that will be used 100% for the victims, go to the Oklahoma Southern Baptist Disaster Relief link. Here is some information about about them. You'll be assisting local people help local people. Feel free to post this on your blog.
Another positive thing happened this morning. I received the following email from Anna Doherty, Senior Marketing Manager of DonorsChoose.
Jill,
Our
team’s thoughts are with the people of Oklahoma. We hope you and your
family are safe and sound in the wake of tornado.
In
the coming weeks, we’ll do whatever we can to help schools in Moore
rebuild. We’ve created a page
to collect donations for classrooms, and shared it with our Facebook and
Twitter
communities.
If
you have any other ideas for ways we can help in the coming weeks, please
don’t hesitate to let me know.
Again,
we hope you and your loved ones are safe today.
Sincerely,
Anna
