Tornado Relief Efforts

Mac's Pharmacy and Northwestern Mutual (Neal Drive) team up to raise money, awareness, and support for Greene County tornado relief efforts. This photo by Phil Gentry and posted in the Greeneville Sun says it all. This photo was taken on Sunnydale Road, one of the hardest hit areas of Wednesday nights tornadoes. (here is the link http://bit.ly/lDEqGH ) We decided to try and do our part to coordinate both the collection and appropriate distribution of needed goods from our area to assist the relief effort in Greene County. Any items you would like to donate to the cause can be dropped off at the locations listed and we will get all of the donated goods to Greene County.

A list of the most needed items is included below:

• Household items (Laundry detergent, bleach, towels, bed sheets, blankets)
• Toiletries (Toothpaste, mouthwash, body soap, deodorant, lotion, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, razors, toilet paper)
• Paper kitchen products (Disposable dishes, utensils, cups, paper towels
• Baby Products (Diapers, formula, baby powder)
• Cleaning supplies (Mops, brooms, Lysol, trash bags)
• Flashlights
• First-aid kits
• Non-perishable food items (Canned/packaged food, bottled water, sports drinks)
• School supplies (paper, notebooks, pens, pencils, lunch boxes, book bags, folders, etc.)

For those that want to give a monetary donation we have been told that The Greene County Emergency Management office has established a special fund for monetary donations at all Greenbank locations. There are many counties across the south that have been affected and many places looking for help. If anybody knows where to send goods or money to for other efforts please leave in the comments section. Thank you to all of those that are helping out.
