WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - A Williston nonprofit organization is collecting food and clothes for the victims of the Memorial Day tornado that hit a trailer park south of Watford City.

The Williston Herald (https://bit.ly/1nBCw0l ) reports that Box Up Generosity took up donations in a Williston’s Davidson Park Tuesday. Donations can still be arranged by calling the drive’s organizers.

Box Up Generosity organizers say their group is solely dedicated to helping the less fortunate in the oil patch. The organization prefers collecting non-perishable food.



A tornado hit a trailer park around five miles south of Watford City around 7:50 p.m. Monday. The twister injured nine people and destroyed 15 trailers. Watford City is around fifty miles southeast of Williston.
