NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Many people are in need of assistance after catastrophic flooding in Middle Tennessee over the weekend.

The Humphreys County Homeless Coalition has an account set up at First Federal Bank in Waverly. You can drop off donations for flood victims and ask for them to be deposited into that account.
