LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Kentucky, it's time to step up and help each other. There have been few times in the Bluegrass State where the need has been greater.
You can see Governor Andy Beshear's latest comments on the disastrous outbreak from a press conference in Dawson Springs in the player above.
Here is a list of ways to help with donations to assist the many victims of the deadly tornado outbreak that has severely impacted western Kentucky. This is a comprehensive list, but it is not exhaustive. If you know of any other opportunities to help those affected please email us at newstips@wlky.com.

(21,362 posts)1. I'm good with donating here,
I don't give to relief funds unless they are to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, or Catholic Charities.

(4,131 posts)3. I appreciate that some folks feel compelled to donate.
I cannot in good conscience donate to folks who overwhelmingly vote against their own interests and the interests of their fellow Americans.
My dollars are better off going to Planned Parenthood, Stacey Abrams, and progressive causes and candidates.
Have a bump, tho.
