ROGERS, Ark. — Volunteers with Rogers-based Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) are helping with relief efforts in Kentucky after tornadoes tore through a town, leaving death and destruction behind.
They shared photos on Facebook with an update saying the 48 volunteers have cleared 72 trees and more than a ton of debris.
The volunteers have also distributed nearly 400 meals to the victims displaced by the tornado outbreak.
SDIA says local emergency management authorities singled out the SDIA Team and have relied on them to clear roads and search fields of downed trees and debris so search and rescue teams could get into areas to rescue or recover missing residents.
SDIA officials say they need financial support to continue with these efforts.
"Our Disaster Response Teams desperately need your financial support so the current team can keep running the chainsaws and clearing trees & debris, and our second wave (deploying after the first of the year) can continue this important work."
