2010 Flood response

Not sure if anyone is interested in volunteer or donating, but if so, this might be helpful:

this is from the city of Franklin's website:
Many people have called to ask what they can do and how they can volunteer. The City has set up a volunteer hotline to call. The number is 550-6947. We are asking volunteers to leave a message and we will contact them as needed.

If citizens are interested in donating to help those affected by the flooding they can donate to the American Red Cross or Graceworks. The information is below.

• American Red Cross, located at 129 W. Fowlkes Street Franklin; 615-790-5785, will accept credit card, checks, money orders, and cash donations only. American Red Cross advised individuals can call in their donations over the phone, send via mail, or deliver in person at the above address.

• Grace Works located at 104 South East Parkway Franklin, TN; 615-794-9055, will accept can goods, furniture, clothing, appliances, blankets, water, etc. Grace Works advised to have individuals to transport the items to the above address.
