Mississippi Tornado Relief Effort

Stand with Mississippi

On March 24 and 25, devastating tornadoes hit the Mississippi Delta, claiming the lives of more than 20 residents. Sunday, March 26, 2023, President Biden issued a State of Emergency in Mississippi following this catastrophic event, and the NAACP is committed to standing with the residents during this difficult time.

Our leadership team is working to provide assistance to those affected by this disaster and is in communication with the Red Cross, Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), and local unit leaders to coordinate relief efforts and support the affected families.

Your generous contribution will help provide emergency shelter, food, water, and other essential supplies to those who have lost everything. Your small donation can make a significant impact.

 

all hands on deck

Together, we can help our community heal and recover from this catastrophic event. Give your time and support by volunteering to provide assistance to help those affected by the tornadoes.
