Three assist Oklahoma tornado victims


Don't tell Bill Williamson America isn't as strong as it used to be.

"I saw America strong and people pulling together," said Williamson about a recent mission trip to Oklahoma City to help the victims of a May 20 tornado that killed 24.

The trio gave the tornado victims 550 pairs of new shoes and 250 new shirts, ranging from infant through adult sizes. Some of the shoes and all of the shirts came from a store that Atkins and his wife, Sharon, had purchased about a year ago. They wanted the inventory for helping disaster victims.

Whittier Church of God gave $2,000 to buy the rest of the shoes. Galbreath Creek Baptist Church gave D.I.R.T, which stands for Disaster Immediate Response Team, $500 to transport items to Oklahoma, while Mountain Discovery Charter School donated 15 to 20 boxes of food and bottled water.

The roundtrip left the trio with two days to help with the cleanup. The time was spent organizing donations at a distribution center and working on a chain saw crew.

"We had a Bobcat to haul the stuff out as we cut it," Atkins said.

And although the victims have a long way to go, he said the people are really pulling together.Buy skullcandy uprock Headphones - Black / Black online.
