Update On Our Efforts To Help With Greene County Tornado Relief

Thank you to Robin Wilhoit and WBIR Channel 10 for mentioning our relief efforts on their facebook page and to Wes Rucker of 247 Sports and ESPN Knox for mentioning our efforts on his radio show Monday. If you want to keep up with relief efforts follow @wesrucker247 on twitter. He has done an excellent job of creating awareness of all regions that have been affected and he will mix in news about the UT Volunteers as well (he is a UT sportswriter).

If you live near one of our locations, or Allen Wilhoit's Northwestern Mutual office on Neal Drive, please stop by and donate any items you wish to the Greene County relief efforts and we will make sure they get there. (addresses are listed on our last post) Many people are wanting to help and do not know where to turn so we are being a resource. Every little bit helps!

We have been asked, Why Greene County? The reason why we are focusing our efforts in helping out Greene County is because we have friends and family from there that are helping coordinate our efforts and getting the donations to the right place. The recent storms have caused a lot of destruction across the entire South. We wish we could help out everybody that has been affected, but due to our connections in Greene County we feel our efforts will be most effective by using the resources we have in that area. If you wish to drop by items and want them sent somewhere else please let us know and we will do our best to get them to the appropriate people.

One thing is for sure, when there is devastation in the South people do what they can to help get their neighbors back on their feet! Thank you everybody for the help!
