Shuttle buses will run back and forth between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. into the community to provide support. If you choose to volunteer, you are asked to bring a pair of work gloves and safety glasses. The city also says if you own a chainsaw that you can safely operate yourself, those are needed as well. Buses will shuttle volunteers in and out of the areas about every 45 minutes. Volunteers may leave their car at the high school. You are also welcome to bring any non-perishable items you wish to donate to the relief effort to the high school as well. Items will be collected and transported to shelters to assist with relief efforts.

-The Foodbank, Inc. – call ahead to see if they are at capacity. They close at 4pm 937-461-0265

-Neighborhoods devastated in need of help / supplies: (esp chain saws, power tools, trucks, labor – also wear hard boots & safety goggles) If crews are working – don’t get in their way. Show up to one of the many the tornado hit areas with no other goal than to carry something. Bring boxes, plastic bins or trash bags to put things in, whether it’s something to throw away or something to save. Don’t just drop them off, use them. Fill them. People are trying to move, hundreds of people are trying to move out of their broken homes. They’re actively digging thru rubble trying to find things they want to salvage. Help them.
