“Residing in the Volunteer State, our community members are eager to lend a hand to their fellow neighbors in times of need,” stated Beth Koffman, COO of The Community Foundation of West Tennessee.
This week’s storms that devastated Selmer have motivated the West Tennessee community to unite.
“We have many volunteers from our church here today, alongside others from nearby congregations, including those traveling from Boonville, Mississippi, to assist us. Freed-Hardeman University has also sent volunteers down,” remarked John Foote, who is coordinating the volunteer activities at Eastside Church of Christ in Selmer.
Students from Freed-Hardeman University and other volunteers came together to help remove fallen trees in Selmer.
“Upon announcing that the fund was reactivated, donations began pouring in, including some overnight. In just the last 24 hours, we’ve received over $3,500 for the fund,” she noted.
“Currently, we are requesting no further clothing donations as we have more than enough. We need cases of water, non-perishable food items, snacks, hygiene products, baby supplies, and perhaps some blankets,” Staton added.
Due to overwhelming community support for donations, Harley Davidson has requested no further clothing contributions.
“These boxes include beans, canned goods, and similar items. Each box is carefully designed based on years of experience to feed a family of four for five days,” Foote elaborated.

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Plewis family for making this transition as smooth as possible. We are tremendously excited to be a part of the Medicine Hat community and are committed to serving customers with the same trust, dedication, and service they expect.”
The current management and staff will remain at Gary Moe Medicine Hat Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
