How You Can Help Oklahoma Tornado Victims

This post may contain affiliate links. View my disclosure policy for details.

I’m sure all of you, like me, are horrified by the loss left in the wake of the tornado in Oklahoma.  The pictures and footage I’ve seen on the news is just devastating.  And the fact that it hit an elementary school…ugh, my heart breaks.  One of my fellow bloggers at Coupon Closet is local to the area hit and has put together a nice list of places that are accepting donations.

Please, use good judgement about where you send your money. Unfortunately there’s always someone looking to capitalize on a tragedy like this.  The American Red Cross is always a valid place to donate.

Couponers, these folks need specific items and if you have them to spare on your stockpile this would be a great time to pay it forward.

If you are a local Lancaster/Central PA reader, 101.1 The Rose has partnered with Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill and one Sunday June 2, they will have a Coach bus parked in the Roherstown location parking lot to accept donations from 9am to 9pm  that will go to Moore, OK on Monday.  Read more here. Raid your stockpiles and try to help!

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.

    Always make sure you are being careful with where you send your money like you said there are always people out there trying to take advantage of situations like this. It’s sad but it does happen.
