Notes

Through the Compassion Coalition of Tuscaloosa County, Baptists and other faith-based organizations have joined together to work with Tuscaloosa County Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and the Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) to meet needs countywide immediately after disasters.

The coalition provides volunteers in churches and faith-based organizations that have teams and resources available. “We’re the connection point and are trying to keep a survey of all those people who can offer (resources),” said William Scroggins, Compassion Coalition chairman and director of the Tuscaloosa Prayer Network.

The idea for the coalition arose from natural disasters that have affected the Tuscaloosa County area in recent years. Churches that join are able to offer their services in the areas of food, clothing and shelter, among others. Because the coalition is a member of VOAD, member churches also become members of VOAD.
