Let’s start with a big SLABBED “thank you” to all who have offered assistance. Mississippi has an “official clearinghouse” for those who want to volunteer or make a donation. However, I would be remiss not to mention the Red Cross as an option as virtually every news article on last weekend’s tornado has mentioned one or more assistance services the Red Cross has provided.
If you want to make a more personal donation, I suggest contacting a neighbor-helping-neighbors — the owner of the Black and White Department Store in Yazoo City. A friend from Yazoo City who knows the store’s owner told me he was providing “gift certificates” to those who need new clothes.
I plan to purchase a gift certificate and ask that it be given to a high school senior who will be graduating next month. You can purchase over the phone 662- 746-2571 or mail a check to 236 South Main Street; Yazoo City, MS 39194-4010.
