After the deadly December 10th tornado, the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund organization was formed. They are a 501-C3 non-profit organization dedicated to the post-tornado recovery efforts in Mayfield and Graves County. The board members of the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund include Graves County Sherriff Jon Hayden (Advisory Board Member), Mayfield Mayor Kathy O’Nan (Advisory Board Member), Darvin Towery (Board President), Tim Stark (Board Member), and Cindy Cash (Board Member). As part of the recovery efforts, the group is tasked with screening applicants to see who qualifies for the special relief funds.
Through the donations that have been gifted to the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund, the members have been able to provide immediate funding relief to qualified individuals and families. In addition, the group has established special programs to assist individuals and families who had homes or vehicles that were destroyed or damaged by the tornado. They have also used the relief funds to build numerous houses for tornado victims through the Homes and Hope for Kentucky organization.
“An organization like Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund was vital for our community to move forward because we needed a group of leaders that would be good stewards of the numerous donations that flooded in from all over the country to help in the rebuilding of Mayfield and Graves County. Local banks like ours were proud to set up an account to benefit the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund and to take part in the healing process of our beloved community,” explained Amanda Rorer, First Kentucky Bank Marketing Officer.
