When tragedies like this happen, you often wonder how you can help. Besides sending funds to the red cross and other organizations, you can also send what you have at home. Many families down there are in desperate need of things that we frugal shoppers tend to get for free or very cheap. They are also in dire need of clothing and many items for children, including toys, formula and diapers. I know that some of you readers are awesome at stockpiling many items, including clothing, toys, etc. Now we can use our talents to help fellow Americans!
Here are some addresses where you can send your items:
Mountaintop Community Church
225 Centerview Drive
Vestavia Hills, AL 35126
Disaster Relief
c/o Moody Baptist Church
902 Church Street
Moody, AL 35004
Alabama disaster relief
c/o Belk Center
2101 Bowers Park Drive
Tuscaloosa, AL 35405
Don't have a big stockpile or you can't afford to give up some of it right now? No worries. Grab a 5 dollar bill or write a check and mail to:
Salvation Army Disaster Relief
P.O. Box 100339
Altanta, GA 30384
You can also send monetary donations to Mountaintop Community Church.
I plan on sending a box of things or a monetary donation every two weeks until the State gets back on their feet. I hope you all are able to send a little something too. It's nice to know that we can really make a difference here and that our items are going to an actual address we know and a real community of people.
Big thanks to my internet buddy Angie and Swaggrabber Sheri for the information!

I am making addressed and stamped envelopes and giving to people asking them to send $5 all they have to do it put money in and leave in mailbox. Angie
This is awesome...I've been looking for a home for my thousands of cans of free enfamil samples that the hospital gave me when my DD was born. Thanks!
That's another great idea, Angie! Thanks for the information you sent out :o).
Lucky, same here. I have yet to find a home for them, but I didn't get rid of them because I knew someone or something would come along and need them. We also have some brand new work shirts I stockpiled last year that hubby can't wear this year so all of those will be sent off.
Awesome! I will do something. I promise!
Happy Friday!
