BBF is responding to the widespread destruction and devastating loss of life caused by multiple tornadoes over the past weekend by initially providing grants to the Arkansas Food Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Mid-South Food Bank in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Arkansas Food Bank works with 450 local partner agencies in a 33-county service area, and the Mid-South Food Bank works with 300 partner agencies and serving 31 counties. Both Food Banks are a part of the Feeding America network. BBF is prepared to send truckloads of water, hygiene kits, and tarps, along with shipments of food and other relief supplies as needed.

100% of funds received for BBF’s response will be used to support emergency relief and logistics. Credit card donations can be made on our website at www.brothersbrother.org by clicking on DONATIONS and choosing USA – US Disaster Relief in the dropdown menu.
