Volunteers sought for continued winter storm relief efforts in Tennessee, Mississippi

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – A group that lent a helping hand to thousands in the Mid-South during the January 2026 winter storm is looking for volunteers to continue the work.

Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian humanitarian aid organization, was there for many people in North Mississippi and Southwest Tennessee when residents lost power, water, and suffered damage to their homes.

So far, Samaritan’s Purse has completed over 700 work orders, but there is still much work to be done.

The organization now needs volunteers to help residents Monday through Saturday for the next two and a half weeks. The scheduled completion for the work is Saturday, March 28.

How to sign up

Samaritan’s Purse has been hosting volunteer orientations in Corinth, Mississippi, and Adamsville, Tennessee, to assist homeowners in surrounding areas affected by the storm with debris cleanup and tree work.

Those who register for the Adamsville orientation will take trips to assist in areas of McNairy and Hardin Counties.

Those who register for the Corinth orientation will take trips to assist in areas of Alcorn, Tippah and Tishomingo Counties.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age or older.

More information can be found on Samaritan Purse’s registration links.
