NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The loss created by these storms is heartbreaking.
Our NewsChannel 5 team wants to help, and we know that you do, too. This is why we are partnering with United Way and Community Foundation to raise money for tornado victims. Please give to the emergency response fund.
You can designate whether you want your money to go to Davidson County or the surrounding counties. Everything you give will go to help victims of the storm. NewsChannel 5 is providing $5,000 in matching money to get donations started in both funds.
Volunteer work in Clarksville is on pause while City, County and private haulers catch up on cleaning debris, but officials say assistance will be needed again within the next few days.
For more information on volunteering, call 931-245-2988.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell said Hands on Nashville will have volunteering opportunities for those in Davidson County, but they are still organizing those efforts.
This story will be updated with more volunteer and donation information as it becomes available.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
