How to Help Oklahoma Tornado Victims
This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.
A fellow blogger, Coupon Closet lives next to Moore, OK and has spent a LOT of time putting this post together and verifying all information. You can find her original post with photos from their neighbors yard of the tornado before it hit here.
Now is the time for us to help.
We can unite and help out the victims. The saying “something is better than nothing” is not true in this case. They NEED specific items.
She is updating her post REGULARLY with places that you can donate. Right now, MONEY is what they need. Any amount is good. Any link that I include on here are secure links and are safe and your money will be put to good use.
Monetary Donations:
You can donate any monetary donations via THIS website. This is the United Methodist Church and the money will go directly to those affected.
