Southern Illinois desperately needs your help, DU! [View all]
In the 1830's, after a series of crop failures in northern Illinois, people came to southern Illinois to purchase grain for food and seed, hence our nickname 'Egypt'. Today, a great swatch of 'Egypt' lies in ruins, as the result of today's tornado outbreak. Brookport, New Minden, Hoyleton, West Salem, rural areas surrounding Mt. Carmel ... the list goes on. Several are dead, scores, possibly hundreds are injured, and many, many more have been left without shelter. Egypt needs your help now, so please give generously to the Red Cross, Catholic Relief Services, American Baptist Home Missions, etc. . We are badly hurt, and in desperate need of your help.
Thank you!
