Salvation Army offers secure way to help victims in Oklahoma

[May 23, 2013]  When disaster strikes, such as the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma, it is human nature to want to help in any way we can. While few can go personally, many can help financially.

In this day and age, though, hundreds of scammers and criminals are out there hoping to lay claim to money they have no right to.

Tony Shuff of the Logan County Salvation Army said this week that for those who do want to help, they can send their donations directly to the Lincoln Salvation Army, and he guarantees they will be sent directly to the Moore, Okla., area to assist with the needs of those who have suffered such great losses.

Shuff said for those who want to donate, they should make checks payable to Salvation Army. In the memo line of the check, write: "Moore, OK / Disaster."

Checks may be mailed to The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 52, Lincoln, IL 62656.

"All monies are sent directly to the disaster site for needed supplies, assistance and emergency disaster relief. 100%," a message from Shuff said. "Thanks for praying, caring, and sharing. Let's all continue ..."Doing The Most Good!"
