FLORIDA CONVOY TO ALABAMA TO HELP TORNADO VICTIMS:NORTH FLORIDA NEEDS TO BE ON THE CONVOY

[FCTP]

FEMA is not getting out to some areas of Alabama and the devastation is horrific.  We are coordinating a convoy from Florida tea parties/912 groups this weekend. 

 

We need a truck(s) from Jacksonville to join in. 

 

We need people to donate items. 

 

We need a drop off location. 

 

Other cities are forming and we need to be a part of this too.  One of our tea party members is up there because she has two sons who were in the tornado.  They survived BUT she said it was a miracle. 

 

Please stand up and help us.  Contact our office today at [phone] and offer to do what you can.  Publix cards are also needed to help with food purchases. 

 

Here is a message from the coordinator of this convoy.  Call today so we can add Jacksonville to the list of collection sites. 

 

Dear Patriots,

 

Florida 912 and Tea Party groups are forming a Convoy for Kindness, Saturday, May 7, 2011 to transport donated items to the Christian Service Mission of Birmingham, AL.  Christian Service Mission is a band of 25 Alabama churches who are distributing food and supplies to all areas of Alabama, particularly the small towns, from their 150,000 square foot warehouse.  For an up to date list of items needed and or to make cash donations, select here:  http://www.churchofthehighlands.com/relief.

Gift cards to Walmart and Publix are also welcome.

 

We are asking Florida 912 & Patriot groups who want to participate in the Convoy for Kindness to establish drop off points in their own locals, finish collecting goods by Friday afternoon, then plan to join the convoy and head up to Birmingham on Saturday.  To add your group’s collection site, please send collection site address, dates and times to [e-mail].

NOTE:  For people planning on making the drive.  There are no vacant hotels to be found in Alabama.  People who plan to spend the night in Alabama must have their own arrangements or plan on driving out and finding accommodations elsewhere, most likely far from the disaster

area.   They must also bring their own food and water as resources are

scarce.  The Dream Center, a member of the Christian Service Mission, does have accommodations for volunteers; however these accommodations fill up fast.

 

 

 

God bless EVERYONE for making this project happen!

Where in Jacksonville, Florida is there a collection site for clothing? We have some to donate, but, don't know where to take the clothes. Anyone got a line on local charities helping in the tornado relief?

[tamara stephenson]

this is a great idea.  Also, I regularly donate to Americares, which is a charity providing medical assistance to disaster areas.  I have researched them, and they do excellent work around the world, and their administrative costs are infinitesimal.  they are currently working in the south to help those affected by the tornadoes.  You can donate by going to americares.org
