We know Central Illinois is a very caring community and many, many
people want to help their neighbors in this emergency. Want to
volunteer? Want to help? Financial donations are the best way to
help those who have been affected. Call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit
redcross.org to make a donation. Tell them you want your donation to
go to the central Illinois tornado response.

Bernardi's Restaurant in Washington would like to offer their
help/support to the community effort and those affected by this
disaster by being a drop-off point for donations of
food/clothing/toiletries/
blankets and anything else those affected
will need. Items/donations can be dropped off at the Washington
location Monday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the rest of the
week from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
and anytime after 3:00 p.m.
No household items are needed at present....HOWEVER, clothes and
children's books (for the children at rescue shelters) would be
greatly appreciated.

Also, anyone needing to charge cell
phones is welcome to go to TeamWorks on Washington Road to do so.
More updates will be sent as we have information to share. Thanks to
everyone who has stepped up to help our fellow Washingtonians at
this very difficult time.
