Greensboro Leaders Ask For Volunteers, Donations As Tornado Recovery Begins

Greensboro city leaders are asking for help as the city begins to recover from the tornado that touched down there Sunday.

Homes and buildings were destroyed during the storm, and the city has acknowledged cleanup will take some time.

While Gov. Roy Cooper has promised help from the state, leaders are encouraging residents to get involved, too.

City officials are encouraging volunteers to register on the city's website.

There are also several vetted organizations taking donations to help residents in need. Those include Goodwill, the United Way of Greater Greensboro and the Interactive Resource Center.

Meanwhile, Guilford County Schools, which had several buildings damaged by the storm, is partnering with other organizations to receive help, specifically the Community Foundation of Greensboro.

The district also continues to provide meals for students at about a dozen sites city-wide while schools are closed.
