KY Gov. Beshear establishes Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund

Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund

Link: https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Finance/WKYRelief

Governor Beshear has established the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund to assist those impacted by the tornados and the severe weather system on December 11, 2021.

All donations to the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund are tax-deductible and donors will receive a receipt for tax purposes after donating.

How can I mail in a donation?

If you would like to mail in a donation, please make your check to Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet. In the memo line please note the donation is for the "Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund." Send check to Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, 200 Mero Street, 5th Floor, Frankfort, KY 40622.

The link to that page was emailed to me by the Kentucky Democratic Party, including this message:

Friend,

This is a difficult day for Kentucky with loved ones lost, communities destroyed and so much hurt and uncertainty for thousands more, but we Kentuckians are tough, resilient and generous people.

With thousands of Kentuckians hurting in the wake of the deadliest tornadoes in Kentucky history, Governor Beshear created a relief fund to assist our people.

Please join our leaders in contributing to the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund. This is a dedicated fund to help our neighbors in Western Kentucky, where there is a growing need.

Our people are hurting and one thing we can always count on as Kentuckians is people who care. That is who we are.

We have lost at least 70 Kentuckians and Governor Beshear expects the number to increase as our heroic first responders continue to search house to house. Hundreds of Kentuckians, if not thousands, lost their homes and others will spend the night without power in frigid temperatures.

Along with contributing to the fund, we join the Governor and local officials in urging you to donate blood.

Our people are in desperate need of help. Please be generous and please help us be a source of hope for our fellow Kentuckians.

Many thanks to you all.
Colmon Elridge
Chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party

Note that the fund is non-partisan and based at the kentucky.gov web site.

Thanks to all for your interest and for any help you are able to provide...... ......

I will give my donation to the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities. I got this notion from reading "The Shock Doctrine."
