Tornado Relief Information

Thank you for the outpouring of resources since the April 27 tornado. Due to the support and generosity of our friends, neighbors, and members, Calvary has furnished over 85 new homes for tornado victims. However, our ministry to these families is just beginning! We are in the process of meeting with individuals and community agencies to learn how best to serve now that most immediate needs have been met.

Tornado Relief Q&A

How did Calvary know who to help?

First, Calvary made it a priority to serve our own members who were affected by the Tornado. However, we knew our scope had to be much broader. Previous to the tornado, Calvary had a relationship with the Tuscaloosa Housing Authority in Rosedale Courts, one of the most affected communities. In the days after the tornado, we received names and new addresses from the Housing Authority of individuals whose homes were destroyed.

Can I Still Give?

Though our online Pay-Pal account is no longer active, you can mail a check designated for "Tornado Relief Fund" to us at 1121 Paul W. Bryant Dr., Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.

Where Can I Donate Items?
