Samaritan's Purse Deploys to Storm-Stricken South<\/h1>\r\n BOONE, NC, April 13, 2020<\/span>\r\n \r\n

Two Disaster Relief Units on the Way to Tornado-Ravaged Mississippi and Louisiana; Assessments Continue in Other Hard-Hit Areas<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

Samaritan\u2019s Purse is sending critical aid to Mississippi and Louisiana families impacted by deadly tornadoes that ravaged the areas overnight. The international Christian relief organization deployed two Disaster Relief Units—tractor-trailers stocked with tools and supplies—from their bases of operations in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas. Once on the ground, a team of disaster response specialists will work alongside area officials and local church partners to help families affected by the storms in Jesus\u2019 Name.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

“As many communities are asked to stay at home, my heart breaks for families that now have nowhere to go—losing loved ones and homes in a matter of minutes,”<\/i> dijo Franklin Graham<\/a>, president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse. “Samaritan\u2019s Purse is coming alongside them to help families physically start to recover from the tornadoes while reminding them that God loves them and they are not forgotten. Please join me in praying for God\u2019s peace and comfort to cover them.”<\/i><\/p>\r\n \r\n

While Samaritan\u2019s Purse responds to the global coronavirus pandemic in New York City and Italy, natural disasters continue to devastate communities. The N.C.-based organization is tailoring its response to safely provide critical relief to families impacted by last night\u2019s storms. Samaritan\u2019s Purse will activate local volunteers in the hardest-hit areas\u2014clearing debris, tarping roofs, and searching for anything that may have survived the storm. <\/p>\r\n \r\n
