How you can help …

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Another VERY important post by Ken Ward Jr. on his wonderful Coal Tattoo blog (a project of the Charleston Gazette):

We’ve been getting lots of calls and e-mail messages from folks who want to know how they can donate or help the families of the coal miners.

So, I thought I would pass on the Web site address for the West Virginia Council of Churches, which will accept donations to a fund for the families.

And for folks who might be so inclined, here’s a Web site where you can write your member of Congress about mine safety issues and this site will help you get in touch with your U.S. Senator.
