State police deliver supplies to tornado victims

The Kentucky State Police recently joined forces with DESI East and Jade Enterprises to gather and distribute supplies to the tornado-affected areas of western Kentucky.

State Troopers from Post 11 in London, Post 13 in Hazard, Post 10 in Harlan, DESI East, and Jade Enterprises of Berea joined forces to gather supplies throughout the communities in their districts to distribute in Mayfield, Dawson Springs, and Madisonville.

The groups collected water, cleaning supplies, clothing, heaters, kerosene, monetary donations, and toys.

Ten Troopers and ten Jade employees made the trip on Thursday to deliver the supplies to tornado victims.

Post 11 said in a statement, "It is going to take a lot of time and many people to rebuild these communities. However, what we saw on Thursday was people working together to clean their communities and start back over. Kentucky people are strong and I believe our brothers and sisters from the West will bounce back from this disaster. Kentucky State Police asks the public to please keep the families of the Western, KY affected by this storm in your thoughts and prayers."
