Grant Provides Shelter for Maryland Tornado Victims


Posted: 5/22/2002

A $25,000 emergency grant was awarded to the Diocese of Washington after a tornado struck communities surrounding La Plata, Maryland. The deadly tornado cut through Charles and Calvert counties and damaged or destroyed several hundred homes and other building structures. The funds will provide shelter to those left homeless and help with office relocation.
