The stories of people giving freely of their time and resources to help the victims of the tornadoes are truly inspirational. There were children who helped their parents take food to the victims, an entire football team who helped removed trees and rubble, adults of all ages, and retirees. Areas that I have to drive through to go to and from work have set up tents and hand out bottles of water, pizzas, and bbq a dinner each evening. The donations have been so plentiful that some distribution centers are having to turn away goods. (So maybe check out where you plan to drop off before buying anything else to donate). If you still want to help financially, you can donate to the Red Cross*

I'm so proud to live in a community and county full of so many giving people. God uses His followers as image-bearers to the world, showing His love, mercy, and grace through us.
I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
John 13:15 (NIV)
