Oklahoma Tornadoes: How to Help

The Christian Chronicle has published a helpful list of addresses of churches active in the relief effort.

Note:

Right now, one of the least effective things you can do to help Oklahoma tornado victims is load up your car with tools and bottled water and head toward the city of Moore.

As police continue search and rescue operations in Moore, just south of Oklahoma City, they are turning away people trying to get into the area to assist, church members report. At least one relief team from a Church of Christ was turned away early today. Instead, the volunteers are working on relief efforts for other parts of the state hit by recent tornadoes — including Shawnee, Luther and Edmond.

    About the best thing you can do right now would be to give to the red cross or similar organizations. Also, just about all the local tv stations are taking donations at their buildings which they, in turn, transport where things are needed.

    If you live around here though, one of the great ways to help is to visit all the local businesses. A great many of them right now are donating portions of sales to relief efforts, and this storm will certainly bruise the ribs of OKC’s economy, so the more local business support, the better.
