When volunteers show up after a disaster like this past weekend’s deadly tornadoes in Mississippi, some bring chainsaws, tarps and heavy equipment.
Donnie Wedgworth and his friends bring catfish.
On Monday, Wedgworth and a group of church friends—who call themselves the Catfish Navy—were frying up catfish, french fries, and hush-puppies, planning to serve about 600 meals to local residents and first responders in Silver City, Mississippi, one of the small, rural towns affected by Friday’s tornado, which killed 26 people.
