Southern Minnesotans Are Collecting Goods For Kentucky Tornado Victims

When tragedy strikes, whether it's fire, earthquake, tornado, etc, we generally see those communities that are affected by that tragedy come together and help those in need. One Southern Minnesota man, with ties to the community of Bowling Green Kentucky, is collecting goods like clothing, food, and other items to hand out to those affected by the tornados that ripped through that area on Friday night into Saturday.

The post by New Prague resident Charlie Workman is just one example of communities both near and far-reaching out to the hundreds of families who were put out of their homes with just two weeks remaining until Christmas.

Charlie is in the process of gathering items to give out to those affected by the storms. Here are some of the items he is collecting to bring to Kentucky on Wednesday.

Clothes

Jackets

Shoes

Toys

Food

Water

Another organization within the area, the New Prague Hockey Association is also collecting goods to be brought to the state of Kentucky for dispersement to those affected by the storms. This collection is TONIGHT from 6-8:30pm at the New Prague Hockey arena. The goal is to fill a trailer donated by Featherlite with needed supplies.
