Hope and help for victims of a deadly tornado. God’s Pit Crew is sending their Immediate Response team of volunteers to Griffin, Georgia after a deadly tornado ravaged the area yesterday. The team will leave the headquarters in Danville early Monday morning and stay until January 29th to help victims of the storm. We will tarp roofs, cut trees, and remove debris.
God’s Pit Crew is also sending a truckload of Blessing Buckets to Selma, Alabama, following a devastating tornado that hit yesterday. Our team is sending 1200 Blessing Bucketsfilled with food, first-aid and hygiene items, a Bible, and an encouraging note. We’re also sending 48 Play Pails for children, which contain a blanket, coloring book, stuffed animal, baby wipes, and a toothbrush.
The truckload of buckets will leave our warehouse tomorrow, Saturday morning, headed to a church partner for distribution to victims of the storm. We are continuing to monitor the situation to assess additional help that may be needed.
God’s Pit Crew President Randy Johnson says,“Our hearts break for those impacted by this deadly tornado. We are praying for everyone impacted. We’re grateful to be able to send Blessing Buckets and Play Pails to the victims. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and donors for helping us to provide hope, healing, and restoration to hurting people in their time of need.”
God’s Pit Crew continues serving people impacted by storms across the country.We recently deployed twice to Florida to help victims of Hurricane Ian, including rebuilding a single mother’s home. We sent Blessing Buckets to Puerto Rico for Hurricane Fiona victims. Our Immediate Response Team deployed to eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia, assisting victims of devastating floods. Our volunteers rebuilt five homes last summer for Kentucky and Tennessee families after the deadly tornadoes a year ago. We provided a mobile home for Pembroke, Georgia, family after last April’s EF-4 tornado and another mobile home for a family whose home flooded in Pilgrim Knob, Virginia.
