Toomer's For Tuscaloosa

I just want to take a second and thank Holly Hart and all of the other people who were part of organizing Toomer's for Tuscalooa. While the title is dedicated to Tuscaloosa, this awesome group has been helping people all over the state. Just to set things straight, though, this is people helping people. This is not any government agency or anything along those lines. They saw and need, and they developed a plan to help.

I am truly amazed. Auburn and Alabama football players working side by side. The band members from Auburn and Alabama working side by side. Fans of both schools working side by side. People have driven from MANY states who aren't a fan of either school, just saw a need and wanted to help. I will mention specifically, Samaritan's Purse. I have worked with them through Key Club. Also, my very good friend told me how much SP helped her after her home was destroyed by Katrina. I know there are other states that need help, too. I hope the Red Cross and SP are doing so. I do know that a truck was leaving TFT headed for Mississippi.

Folks are going to need help for a long time. I thank everyone who has already done so.

If you want to help, there are many ways:

I have collected donations and helped the Semmes for Pratt City group. However, I am still trying to spread the word as well. If you have fb, check out the Toomers for Tuscaloosa page on FB, a true picture of community in action.
