In the aftermath of Sunday night's tornado, local relief agencies scrambled to provide help to victims and emergency service workers.

A service center will be open from noon to 6 p.m. today at Clark Volunteer Fire Department's station. The center will also be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Volunteers will provide emotional support and additional cleanup and comfort kits will be available for storm victims, a news release said. Assistance to families will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Just after the storm passed through, the Mercer County Chapter of the American Red Cross set up disaster-relief stations at The Radisson Hotel of Sharon in Shenango Township and at Reynolds Junior/Senior High School. The stations provided warm shelter, rest rooms, beverages, cots, blankets and pillows and medical and mental health professionals. Victims without shelter were also offered rooms at local hotels.

Rebecca Payne, executive director of the local Red Cross, said Monday that volunteers from the Erie chapter came to Mercer County to help.

The Red Cross is providing food, clothing and shelter to the storm victims and relief workers and Teddy bears for children in the area.

The Salvation Army sent "mobile feeding units" into Clark to provide meals and hot and cold beverages to victims and relief workers, said Mark Tsantes, supervisor for disaster services for the Salvation Army's divisional headquarters in Pittsburgh.

Salvation Army volunteers served more than 40 pounds of lunch meat for workers Monday afternoon, Tsantes said.

The Sharon corps of the Army is offering immediate-need vouchers for people whose homes were destroyed and who need clothing and toiletries or who have lost prescription medications and can't afford to replace them, he said.

Tsantes said Army volunteers will be at the service center at the Clark firehall to assist victims. He said the Army will help people on a case-by-case basis with things like insurance deductibles if victims show a need.

In Sharpsville Area School District, which includes Clark, staff counselors are "on alert" and will be aware of the needs of students affected by the storm, said Superintendent Dr. Derry Stufft. He said more counselors would be brought in if they are needed.

Stufft also said anyone who needs a shower can use the facilities in Sharpsville schools.

Anyone who needs assistance can call the American Red Cross at (724) 981-3205 or The Salvation Army at (724) 347-5537.
