Donate to Help the Southern Storm Victims

Many of us know someone who was affected by the second largest tornado outbreak in US history last week. Precious lives were lost, homes and business were flattened, and a path of destruction was left behind.

The most important thing that we can all do for the affected individuals and families is to pray for peace, hope, healing and protection as they begin the clean-up process. I hope that you will all join me in doing so.

Like I mentioned in my Couponing for Community  post earlier today, most of us also have stockpiles which contain many items which can help those affected by the storms. Here is a list of some of the items that they need:

Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Shampoo and Conditioner
Soap
Deodorant

Hand Sanitizer
Clothing and Shoes
Blankets
Toys
Ziploc Bags
First Aid Items
