Greensboro Tornado: As parts of Greensboro recover from the recent tornado, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro is supporting residents by collecting donations of the most urgently-needed items such as construction materials and recruiting volunteers to assist with the cleanup efforts.

A list of organizations, how you can help, and links to websites are available here.
