Christ Life ministry responds
When there's a disaster in the area, Tam Mayfield of Flora springs into action. As the founder and executive director of CHRIST Ministries, Mayfield helps those in crisis following natural disasters, including those in the Yazoo City area who are suffering following the deadly tornado there a couple of weeks ago.
Donations for Mississippi tornado relief are being taken at Christ Life Highlands Church Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The church is located at 670 Highland Colony Parkway, about a half mile south of the traffic circle, in Ridgeland. Items being collected are bottled water, canned goods, toilet paper, soap, diapers, baby wipes, baby food, work gloves, garbage bags and cat and dog food. "We are not collecting clothes any longer," Mayfield said. "The Salvation Army is much better equipped to distribute clothes." Mayfield said the ministry will distribute items to those affected by the tornadoes for the next month to six weeks.
