My husband is friends with the Martial Arts Instructor from Rising Sun, Jason Felton. He has family located a less then a block from the devastation of the tornadoes. He is taking donations not only for his family but the community as well. All donations and proceeds will go to the victims. All size clothes,shoes, any toys, bottled water, food, etc. Just think if this was your family why you might need. His Facebook gives more information Rising Sun Karate and MMA. They are taking donations at the school until 10 pm tonight. I know it is short notice but we just found out too. Thank you ahead of time Emoticon 4951

Where ever you donate is awesome! This particular donation is headed up there tomorrow, so donations will be accepted at the karate school then packed in and headed out.
If I come across anyone else taking in donations I will post as well.
Tony is headed up there now with two boxes of clothes, toys, books, and a few other random things. I was so proud of my kids tonight. We told them where the stuff was going and they immediately started gathering things up. Times like that as a parent makes you think, maybe I'm not so bad at this whole parenting thing. If anyone else finds a place then please let us know on here. 4951

When I went through the May 3 1999 tornado I needed things like towels, sheets, toiletries, some basic cookware, socks, feminine supplies, and a bag to keep it all in. Large duffel bags are needed right now. You could go to the dollar store and get tons of shampoo, toothbrushes, lotion, hair brushes, etc...also diapers and baby wipes are good. Saline solution, q tips, even some cheap old navy flip flops. Razors, shaving cream. You get it.
 
When I lost my home in 99 I was working for a place that built store fixtures for Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. Several people in our company lost homes, so Ralph and Tommy sent semi trucks full of clothes, perfume, bedding, towels, etc from New York. It was amazing, and a huge blessing. I used Tommy Hilfiger shower gel for years after that. Still have the towels, too.
 
I have conflicted feelings about all these places taking monetary donations. For being a tornado victim, I heard about an awful lot of money being donated but saw very little of it. Got a little from Red Cross and FEMA, but as far as local fundraisers went I never saw anything like that come my way. I don't know how they decided who to give it to, but I wasn't included. It was frustrating, hearing the radio stations talk about all the funds they raised, yet not seeing anything. The actual physical items were the greatest donations I received. 4951

I am with you on this.
Some people use travesties like this one to line their own pockets, pantries, and whatever else. I am truly saddened by this.
That is way cool that the two of them sent that stuff. 4951
