Volunteers Sought for Tornado Relief Efforts

If you’re looking to help out with tornado relief efforts in Coal City and surrounding areas, the Grundy County Community Organizations in Action has set Friday, June 26 as the day to do it.

The group is asking that people meet up at 9 a.m. at the Diamond Banquet Hall in Diamond, located at 113 and Daly St. It’s advised to bring along closed-toe shoes or boots, long pants, gloves, hats or visors, sunglasses and sunscreen. They also request that people carpool if they can.

Volunteers will be given a safety vest and other relevant equipment and then bussed to a neighborhood in need of help.

Cleaning supply donations will be accepted at We Care of Grundy County at 530 Bedford Road in Morris. Organizers ask that you make your donations before noon on Thursday, June 25 so they can be delivered for use on Friday.
