The 2010 Flood and Disaster Relief

Over the past week, we have seen many pictures and videos of the flood that has taken hold of Central TN.  Now that the waters have dropped back below flood stage, we are now able to see the damage that was done.  Many may be wondering how they can help and show Christ’s love to Clarksville, Montgomery County, and Central TN.  Below you will find ways to do just that.
