We have partnered with Clay Ridge Baptist Church in Clay, AL and Clearview Baptist Church in Pinson, AL to supply needed items for recovery operations in those areas. From donations received over the last week, we're able to send food, water, tools, and sundry items to support recovery teams in the cleanup and rebuilding of their local communities.
Thank you to everyone who has donated their time and money to assist Alabama Disaster Relief in supporting our local communities' recovery from the damage of the January 23 tornadoes. We will continue to update you on the progress of our efforts.
