In the wake of the powerful tornado that killed dozens of people in the Mississippi delta, aid groups are on the ground assisting those in need. Here are ways you can help.
Ways to give help Team Rubicon is on the ground in the devastated town of Rolling Fork, performing chainsaw operations to clear roads for residents and first responders. The group is also set up to help survivors clear trees, tarp roofs, and muck out debris inside homes. Devon Miller of Team Rubicon told CNN the group is looking for new volunteers. Although the team is led by military veterans, first responders and civilians can also sign up to volunteer.
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy is focusing on long-term recovery needs such as rebuilding homes and mental health services. Along with essentials like food and water, Save the Children is delivering child-focused items like hygiene kits and diapers to families in western Mississippi. Mercy Chefs is serving lunch and dinner in Rolling Fork. The non-profit says it expects to serve thousands of meals each day and will increase meals as needed.
