On Saturday, December 9, an F3 tornado with 150 mph winds and a path 600 yards wide passed through our city … destroying 114 structures, most of them homes, damaging 857 others … taking the lives of three people and sending 62 to the hospital.
We feel the weariness, but we are not without hope.
People and churches from all over are coming together to serve and offer support.
At this time, here's how we’re helping:
At this time, here's how we are able to help:
