GREENFIELD, Iowa — Since Tuesday’s tornado, both Greenfield United Methodist Church and St. John’s Catholic Church have been spots where physical donations have been dropped off or sent. While they’re grateful for physical donations, they say they don’t need them at the moment because they’re full. Instead, they and other community leaders are calling for monetary donations. Organizers at the churches say the Greater Greenfield Community Foundation will accept monetary donations for its Greenfield Tornado Relief Fund, which can be found here.

The Greater Greenfield Community Foundation is a nonprofit that’s been around for more than 40 years. Jennifer Garside, one of the board members, says the foundation normally does projects like building the fitness center so they’re used to handling large sums of money. Garside told KCCI that “In about a less than 24-hour period, we had over 900 emails to our foundation. Emails of people wanting to make donations.”

She said the funds will be used to help people and the community. Foundation members are this next week to form a plan to help people. Multiple rooms within Greenfield United Methodist Church are filled with donations, organized and ready for people to come pick up what they need.

On Friday, the church received the last physical donations they need: car seats and pack-and-plays for infants and toddlers from UnityPoint’s Blank Children’s Hospital. The team came out in several vehicles, delivering car seats and pack-and-plays that were new and still inside their packaging.
