As I am sure you are aware, earlier this week a tornado caused significant damage in middle Tennessee. We know firsthand the wreckage these storms can cause, after they struck Athens several years ago.

All of us have likely wondered this week: What can I do to help?

First off, you can (& should!) pray for those suffering from the storm, especially those grieving friends & family members killed in the storm.

Second, here is one practical way to help.

McMinn County High School FFA is accepting donations for folks in Cookeville through next Friday.

Items needed are:

Baby Items: Formula, Food, Diapers (of all sizes), & Baby Wipes.

Toiletries: Deodorant, Shampoo/Conditioner, Razors, Feminine products, Lotion, Soap, Toothbrush/paste, & Hairbrushes/combs.

Others: Flashlights, Batteries, Work gloves, Latex gloves, & First aid items/kits.

All items can be given to Bo Cagle on Sunday morning, March 8.

Or, you can drop them off at McMinn High School’s front office with Mary Beth through next Friday.
