Tornado Relief – Easing the Devastation

July 8, 2011

In response to the devastating tornadoes that recently beset parts of our country, Americans Helping Americans is sending supplies to Mobile, Alabama, Newcastle, Oklahoma, and Joplin, Missouri.

You can help us provide: 600 hygiene kits (soap, shampoo, toothpaste…etc.), 12,600 diapers, 200 40 oz. boxes of detergent, and 2,508 packets of vitamins.

The devastation left in the aftermath of the deadly tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri shook our entire nation with sorrow for the residents of the small town in late May. Over 200 people were killed by one of the most violent tornadoes in U.S. history. Help us provide these much needed supplies.
