As news breaks this morning about the terrible devastation that happened with this tornado that ripped through 6 states last night we are reminded of the opportunity/responsibility that we have to respond to these types of disasters.
The path of this tornado was only a few miles from our Blessings of Hope Ky. Campbellsville, KY warehouse, and our team in Campbellsville is responding this morning with what they have on hand. Daniel says he never saw this level of devastation in his life. Mayfield, KY (only a few hours from Campbellsville) was pretty well wiped off the map last night. We have ministries that were already serving that region and need resources.
We are working on connections and are planning on sending 2 truckloads of relief down today (Dec. 11), 2 loads on Sunday, (Dec. 12), and at least one load per day early next week.
Ways you can help carry out the mission of bringing hope to these people affected by a natural disaster.
- Pray
- Cash donations to cover our costs to distribute food. We have connections to a LOT of food and other resources but it takes money to distribute it.

Our cost to distribute a semi truckload of prepacked food boxes (936 boxes) delivered to Kentucky is a little around $11,000.00 - Each box contains an assortment of 35 - 40 lbs of food and can be delivered for less than $12.00 per box.
Disasters happen and Blessings of Hope is prepared to respond to these disasters in a way that brings hope in the form of food. Together we can shine the light of Jesus during these times of trial.
Get involved and donate to help us bring more food to those affected by life's circumstances beyond their control.
If you are a class A CDL truck driver and want to help, please contact Durrell in dispatch at 717-824-1227 ext. 108 and get added to our list of volunteer drivers to take food into disaster relief zones.
Any funds raised that are not used in this particular disaster will go into a 'Disaster Relief Fund' to empower us to respond rapidly to future disasters.
