The death toll in the Mississippi/Alabama tornados is up to 26. Twenty-five of those deaths were in Mississippi. Mattress Mack is stepping up to help the victims of that twister.
Mack announced the Mississippi Relief fund, telling Houston's Morning News the town of Amory is devastated.
"I talked to the Mayor of that city last night. He told me they had a big warehouse where they kept their emergency equipment. It's all gone," Mack said.
Mack is looking for help with the following items:
- Home Depot, Lowes, and Walmart gift cards
- flashlights
- lanterns
- Tylenol/Ibuprofen
- hygiene products (bathing wipes, toothbrush/toothpaste, soap, shampoo, sanitary napkins, adult diapers, deodorant)
- baby items (diapers, formula, baby food, bottles, blankets, clothes, wipes)
- tarps
- plastic totes
- coolers for food storage
- nonperishables
- water, buckets
- heavy-duty trash bags
- charcoal
