UNITY
Our Heartfelt Concerns for Those Affected By Deadly Tornadoes
Our thoughts and prayers go to everyone affected by the deadly tornadoes that have swept through central Oklahoma the last few days.
Suddenly, many individuals faced the future with no homes, no cars, injuries, some family members missing...
The UNITY office in downtown Oklahoma City is safe. Staff members are safe. Ryan Aduddell, a UNITY staff member, is spending today (May 21) helping family members and friends “sort through what is left of their homes.”
If you are interested in contributing to the relief effort, the linked NBC story entitled, "How to help Oklahoma tornado victims" lists several organizations involved in helping those in need.
