As you know, this weekend Kentuckians suffered tremendous loss of life, homes, even entire communities in an unprecedented tornado event.
As a Kentuckian, I laid in bed on Friday night glued to my phone seaching for updates from friends in Paducah, Mayfield, Benton, Bowling Green, and many other communities while wondering if my family and I would need to take shelter too. And, when we woke up in the morning, looking for ways to help. Should we donate items, money, give blood, volunteer? What was the most needed?
In this time of overwhelming need, Kentuckians - from the Hood to the Holler - stepped up to answer that call and support our neighbors.
Today, we turn to you.
Please consider finding a way that you can lend support to Kentuckians who are hurting the most.
We have listed a few ways below and are also updating a thread of resources on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
1) Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has set up a Relief Fund that will be the largest coordinated effort of support. You can make a tax-deductible donation here.
2) Hood to the Holler Founder Charles Booker is also coordinating a relief effort and has several ways to help, including making wellness calls to residents. You can sign up to help here.
Hood to the Holler is already fighting impacts of the Climate Crisis in Kentucky and will not give up that effort, but today, we stretch out our hand to our neighbors who are suffering.
Thank you for standing with Kentucky,
Elizabeth Sawyer
