Organizations across Texas are doing their bit to assist those affected by Friday's tornadoes that killed dozens.
According to NBCDFW, Christian humanitarian aid organization World Vision will be sending three truckloads to Kentucky.
"We’re sending mud buckets, which are clean-up kits basically cleaning up after the tornado…the water and such that has gotten into their homes," partner coordinator for World Vision Roberta Taylor said per NBC. "We’re sending bleach. We’re sending hand sanitizer, wipes, food, different things like that."
Meanwhile, Texas Baptist Men's spokesman Rand Jenkins says they've been in touch with relief workers as they try to figure out what's needed.
Jenkins says the group is waiting to find out where exactly they are needed and when. They're expecting to send food trucks, laundry units, and roofing and chainsaw teams to assist the victims.
Texas Baptist Men has about 5,000 volunteers across the state.
Elsewhere, yesterday Texas Governor Greg Abbott approved the activation of a task force to assist in the search and rescue efforts.
"Governor Greg Abbott has approved the activation of 10 Texas A&M Task Force 1 personnel to deploy the Central Incident Support Team cache, which is part of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue System, in response to the catastrophic tornadoes that occurred in Western Kentucky overnight," a press release said.
