About this facility
- Mission
- The storms in Alabama on April 27, 2011 flung people’s dreams, lives, and hopes apart with devastating force, but We Are T-Town found our way through the wreckage, to the duty we now feel destined to fulfill. Never before, could we have envisioned that such a tragic beginning, would blossom into a mission of Hope and Recovery for all we encountered. We Are T-Town is helping others with Hope, Heart, and Love. Starting with our own town, Tuscaloosa, then our great state of Alabama. To anyone whose life has been torn apart by tragedy, We Are T-Town will be there.
------------------------
WATT provides disaster relief to anyone torn apart by tragedy by providing the necessities: temporary housing, clothing, food, transportation, toiletries, shoes, beds, linens, towels, assistance in filling out paperwork, assistance in locating temporary or permanent yet affordable housing, assistance in locating needed resources, etc. by acting as a broker on behalf of local survivors of natural disasters and by acting as a public charity and collecting donated goods, food, and supplies for families in need and then distributing the items to those in need.
