Southside Disaster Relief Effort

"For I was an hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me." Matthew 25:35-36. On April 27th, 2011 over 162 tornados ravaged Alabama. Some people lost homes, some homes were damaged, and most were without power for awhile. Southside Baptist members stepped up to help in the days to come and are continuting to help with the Disaster Relief effort.

Items for "Care Packages For Kids". This is a local charity that is gathering items to make gift bags for kids affected by the storms. They are looking for toys, books, blankets, coloring or activity books, back packs, totes, stuffed animals, play doh, puzzles, Bibles, sippy cups, etc. Southside will serve as a drop-off point for this charity.
