Monday, May 20th, a deadly tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma leaving behind a path of disaster. Dozens of people, including children,  were killed and hundreds injured. The tornado, which the National Weather Service classified as  an EF4 (166 to 200 mph), is estimated to have been at least two miles wide as it moved through Moore. Now, the clean up and recovery efforts are underway and many people need help.

Randall and Sherry Reed, the Randall Reed Ford team in OKC and our family of dealerships in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth and greater Houston areas are working to gather much-needed donations.

In Oklahoma City, the Randall Reed Ford team is creating an on-site donation point (located on I-44 and May in Oklahoma City). Victims need bottled water, non-perishable food items, baby formula, diapers, clothing, etc. All collected items go to the local of the Red Cross.

Whether you can give $10, donate blood or drop off clothing, every contribution counts.  “When we all give a little, we can help a lot,” said Randall Reed, owner or World Class Automotive Group. “This community has been devastated. It’s our hope that everyone comes together to help lift the people of Moore up and strengthen them during this heart-wrenching time.”
