    if you know of person or community that needs help and is not getting it, Toomers for Tuscaloosa is helping all across the south, even in Memphis from the flood. Go to their Facebook page. They are working miracles over there. On another note, the woman in this video has been denied FEMA help. She needs everyone’s help:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1USONS_p6jA

    Hi Lynda, Please visit http://toomersfortuscaloosa.com/out-of-state-donations/ to view drop-off locations in Texas. Looks like there are no locations in North Texas at this time, but perhaps you could coordinate something to connect with people from other cities or states and get the supplies where they need to go. Hope that helps!

I have women’s, men’s, boy’s and young girl clothing ranging from 18 mths and up that have hardly been touched and are in great condition. If there is somewhere I can go to donate them to recent tornado survivors please e-mail me!

    Sounds a bit funny but what areas need volunteers for removal?

    I can not tell from the listings above on who needs what help where? What smaller populated areas hard hit have not gotten a lot of help?

    I’m a teacher with time this summer to donate.

  26. Robyn Hyden says:
    June 3, 2011 at 3:06 pm

    Hi Russ, There are so many worthy places you could go to work. If you’re really not sure where to go I would suggest calling the local United Way office (2-1-1 locally) to see who still needs debris removal help. If you are looking to re-locate and work somewhere long term, I would try contacting a mission or rebuilding organization to see where they need help. If you are already in AL and looking for a place that’s within driving distance, I would call to the local volunteer headquarters. Hope that helps!

    We are North Alabama Disaster Relief of Ardmore (NADRA) affiliates of Our
    States United and stormHOPE (we are ourstatesunited.org ‘s Ardmore, AL
    division). We are located at 8710 AL HWY 53, Toney, AL 35773, just 5
    miles north of the devastated Harvest/Toney area from the April 27th
    Tornadoes. Our facebook page is

    http://www.facebook.com/NorthAlabamaDisasterRelief.

    We have been providing relief supplies on behalf of our community to
    approximately 15 communities on Sand Mountain, plus Flat Rock,
    Hackleburg, Hamilton, Phil Campbell, Arab, Ruth, Moulton, Toney,
    Harvest, Capshaw, East Limestone, Ider, Anniston, Tuscaloosa,
    Northport, and even Joplin, MO; currently we also have teamed up to be
    available for OK and MA, also. We were among the first responders to the
    cry for help from Flat Rock, AL, five days after their community had
    been leveled, leaving them without their nearest gas station, which
    was still nine miles away, and no phone service or electricity to call
    for help.
    We are a disaster relief distribution center, we accept any donated items except clothing (list is in our notes section, with special immediate needs listed in posts). We assess areas of need, verify exactly what they need, deliver immediately via borrowed moving vans and trailers what we have on hand, then ask our
    families, friends, churches, and community to donate the needed supplies that
    we deliver directly into the hands that need them. To date, we have
    emptied our building at least 25 times and it always comes back more
    than we took out…
    “We” are two Neonatal ICU nurses from Huntsville Hospital for Women
    and Children, Tiffany Watkins, RN, Harriette Glover, RN, and my long
    time friend, Melody Herron, a dental hygienist, that get this job
    accomplished with help from our church and co-worker volunteers, along
    with Warren Tidwell, of Our States United and Bob Graham of stormHope. We have officially nominated Kelli Bailey Fitzgerald (lifelong friend and best friends of Jade, a co-worker of mine and Tiffany’s) who is also a Huntsville Hospital employee one of our group, also. It appears our parents and Huntsville Hospital must have attempted to instill above and beyond principles in our lives since we all have awesome parents and work for the best hospital in the South East. Melody will soon be employed with us if our plans work out! There are way too many volunteers to name here, but each of them gets a special shout out, bless their precious giving souls! We are in disaster relief
    for the long haul, there are still too many folks in need, and more
    with every disaster that seems to plague our nation lately. Any help you can send our way with donated
    supplies, we will network and determine exactly what family, from
    which community across Alabama (or beyond) that needs them. We accept truckloads of supplies, but do not take truckloads of general supplies to communities, first we verify what they need and fill
    that need. We follow through with every promised delivery, period.
    We would love to help our neighbors even more via networking with you
    as well, so please help spread the word!
    Thanks and God Bless!
    Harriette, Tiffany, Melody, and Kelli
