Dexter, Missouri - Kay Davison is a County Wide Insurance employee and a member of the Lighthouse Church of Dexter.  She is quite familiar with how people come together during a tragedy and she has helped with the church and Hope International on more than a few occasions.

This week she was watching the news and it just broke her heart to see all those people and animals suffering.  She decided she needed to pitch in and help where she could.  She will be donating her time to sort summer clothing next week in the evenings and she will transport any donations people want to bring to her workplace at County Wide Insurance.

County Wide employees are there to help too.  They are asking for your donations.  

"It's a team effort," commented Davison.  "Everyone wants to help where they can."
