After a devastating tornado tore through the US Heartland, Chabad of Kentucky leapt into action. Already active in aiding the state’s most underserved, Chabad KY provided essentials for the tornado’s victims’ immediate needs, from clean water to clothing, shoes, and blankets. Now Rabbi Litvin and his team are expanding their efforts to support survivors.
“The national response to the catastrophe has been wonderful. The Red Cross, FEMA, and even the National Guard were all here doing what they could,” Rabbi Avrohom Litvin of Chabad-Lubavitch of Kentucky said. “But, of course, they’re not going to stick around forever. Long after they’ve moved on, the lingering effect will be here, and very prominently so. And so will we; we’re not going anywhere. The good people here in Kentucky really need that support, and it’s our job to be there for them in any way possible.”
