Estill County was fortunate during the tornado outbreak on March 2, 2012 but other communities across the Commonweatlh suffered terrible tragedies. Many loved ones were lost, homes destroyed, and lives changed forever. If you would like to volunteer goods, services, or donate money to help your fellow Kentuckians in their time of need the Kentucky Emergency Management Agency (KyEM) has established a volunteer coordination site so that people can help the victims of the March 2nd storms.
Persons interested in volunteering goods, services, or money to the storm victims should go to http://kyem.ky.gov/recovery/Pages/VolunteerCoordination.aspx. On that page you can let KyEM know what you would be willing to do to help by contacting the Volunteer Coordinator or by filling out an online form. |
