OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss fans and area residents will have the opportunity to donate household and clothing items for tornado victims through the Rebel Relief Project on Sunday, July 10.
Coordinated by the Ole Miss athletics department, the Rebel Relief Project will be held from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Sunday at the Walmart in Oxford.
The Ole Miss football equipment truck will be on location as Ole Miss Ladies' Football Forum and Athletics volunteers accept donations for relief efforts in Smithville, Miss., and surrounding areas that were hit hard by tornadoes in April. People are asked to specifically donate items from the list of needs (see above PDF), which includes a variety of household, personal and clothing items.
"There is so much work still left to do in the recovery efforts for Smithville and the surrounding areas," said Chyna Ward-Poley, coordinator of the Ladies' Football Forum group that started the Rebel Relief Project idea. "These places in our own state were hit so hard, and we want to show them however we can that we care and we have not forgotten them."
Local radio stations WQLJ 93.7 FM and Reb Sports Radio 102.1 FM will be broadcasting live on location, as well.
The donations will be delivered to Smithville by Ole Miss coaches and personnel, including head football coach Houston Nutt, on Tuesday, July 19.
