The staff at His House Ministries will take calls from individuals, church groups, or other organizations who wish to volunteer in the cleanup and recovery efforts. Volunteers can call Pastor Tony Adams at the church at (270)247-7772.
Local residents who have suffered storm damage to their property are also asked to call the church, so that they can be matched up with the appropriate volunteers needed for debris cleanup, moving assistance, etc.
Donations of food, as well as furniture, mattresses, bedding, clothing and other larger items are being collected at the Mayfield/Graves County fairgrounds, in the exposition building.
Paducah Red Cross staff were on the scene by Tuesday afternoon. Regional director Evelyn Miller told West Kentucky Star they were already assisting more than a dozen individuals by providing cleanup kits, and helping them receive clothing, food and housing assistance. Miller said if any other people are seeking Red Cross assistance, please call their office at (270)442-3575. She added that the Salvation Army is also on the scene offering assistance.
Mayfield First Baptist Church is set up as an emergency shelter for residents displaced by the storms.
