Mississippi and Alabama Tornadoes, First Update

UMCOR and UMVIM have been in touch with leaders in Mississippi and Alabama about the tornados that left a devastating mark on communities there. For those outside the affected communities: please do not self deploy until emergency officials are able to do their jobs. Leaders in the area, along with UMCOR and UMVIM, will pass along as volunteer opportunities become apparent. There will be no shortage of volunteer opportunities in the coming years for the areas hit. Right now, you can help by going to UMCOR.org and giving to US Disaster Response. 100% of your donation will go to help disaster victims.

Here is a link to give: https://umcmission.org/advance-project/901670/

In the coming days, more updates will follow.
