Tornado Disaster Response || How you can help Lamar County
November 7, 2022
The Texas Department of Emergency Management has information regarding what the community can do to help the victims of the recent tornado that hit Lamar County.
If you would like to help volunteer, the official Volunteer Resource Center is located at the old Shell Station Truck Stop, 2805 N. Main Street in Paris, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
According to Amanda Willows, Public Information Officer assisting the Department of Emergency Management, “at this time we do not need additional material items such as clothing, blankets, food, etc. Financial assistance for our victims is the primary need.”
