BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The EF-3 tornado that touched down in Fultondale also touched hearts around the Tuscaloosa-area, and people eager to help in any way they can.
Tuscaloosa’s Weeping Mary Baptist Church is accepting donations. The church wants people to bring bottled water, sports drinks along with hand sanitizer and disinfectants to the Church’s activity center between now and February 11th between the hours of 10am to 1pm.
“Giving back is a blessing. And we know the tornado didn’t hit us. And we just want to be a blessing to the ones that it did hit,” Bernice Smith explained.
