Tornado Recovery Assistance

The tornado and storm damage in this region from the night of December 10th are absolutely horrible. Thank you to everyone offering thoughts and prayers. If you are able to do more, here are some suggestions.

1. Donate Money

In a disaster, money is the quickest and easiest to transfer. Service organizations can often stretch a dollar a lot further and get exactly what is needed. We recommend the Governor’s Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund. This will get donated funds to individuals and organizations in communities across Kentucky assisting with relief. https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Finance/WKYRelief

2. Distribution

If you are managing a shelter, nursing home, etc and need bedding, please email victoria@hancocks-paducah.com with your need and how we can get it to you, or come to the store and pick up the supplies you need. Individuals impacted by the storms and in need of bedding who can get to our store are also welcome to pick up donated quilts and blankets.

3. Contribute Warm Bedding

Most of us know how comforting and reassuring a quilt can be. It’s winter here in Western Kentucky, and it’s going to get colder. Hancock’s of Paducah volunteers our store as a gathering point for donations of blankets and quilts. Please only bring clean bedding in good condition. Sorting donations is a time and labor intensive, which is why we’re ONLY asking for quilts and blankets at our store.
