DANVILLE, VA- 03/26/2021— Tornado season has just begun and God’s Pit Crew is prepared and is ready to respond to the tornado outbreak that impacted Alabama and Georgia on Thursday, March 25.

A tractor-trailer load of Blessing Buckets, life-sustaining relief supplies, and more will be delivered to Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday, March 27.

Chris Chiles, immediate response coordinator for God’s Pit Crew has been in contact with people in both areas. Chiles is currently planning to deploy a team of volunteers to Newnan, Georgia, where another tornado caused widespread damage during yesterday’s outbreak. The team will deploy this Sunday from the GPC Distribution Center in Danville and will help cut fallen trees, remove tornado debris and tarp roofs for people impacted by this storm.

With financial support, GPC can have the trucks and equipment filled and ready to travel to where the greatest needs are as soon as the storm dissolves, providing supplies or an immediate response team.
