“I was deeply devastated upon hearing the news of the Tornado Disaster in Nashville. We have several employees in my office that have family and friends in Nashville, including two former residents of Nashville. So we came up with the idea of collecting items because we have to help,” Clerk Mike Foley said in a prepared statement released early Wednesday.
The most needed items are cleaning supplies including all purpose cleaner, paper towels, antibacterial wipes, towels, rags, tarps, toilet paper, etc., Foley said.

“We ask that citizens donate any water to the Dayton Food Bank, as they have the means of transporting the water. A member of the Clerk of Courts staff will be traveling to Nashville this weekend to deliver any items collected,” Foley said.
The Clerk of Courts for Montgomery County operates five locations:
- 451 W. Third St., Dayton, 45422
- 108 W. Spring Valley Road, Centerville, 45458
- 8391 N. Main St., Clayton, 45415
- 6108 Chambersburg Road, Huber Heights, 45424
- 5552 N. Springboro Pike, Moraine 45449
The Montgomery County Clerk of Courts office is at 41 N. Perry St., Room 106, Dayton, 45422.
“Our region was devastated by the Memorial Day tornadoes in 2019, so the members in our community know what Nashville is going through,” Foley said.
“Even if you can find it in your heart to donate $5 worth of cleaning supplies, that will make a difference to the people who have lost everything in Nashville,” he said.
