Oklahoma City, OK – OKC charity sends truckloads of relief to Alabama
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) An Oklahoma City-based charity is sending nine tractor trailers loaded with supplies to help storm victims in Alabama.
The caravan of Feed The Children trucks will depart Oklahoma City at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday en route to distribution centers in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. The trucks will be loaded with toiletries, diapers, baby food, ready-to-eat meals, work gloves, coolers and other supplies donated by companies across the country.
Alabama was the hardest hit after a series of twisters raked across seven states and killed 328 people in what was the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak since the Great Depression. More than two-thirds of those killed were in Alabama, and hundreds of factories, businesses and homes were destroyed.
The trucks are scheduled to arrive in Alabama Friday morning.
