IOWA FLOOD AND TORNADO DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS
Please Donate to Assist US Midwest Flood Victims!
In June, river levees throughout the Midwest were breeched due to heavy precipitation which has caused severe flooding in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The impact of the damages are still coming in as the flooding continues to destroy communities. To make matters worse, most of these floods came only a few days after a series of tornadoes tore through some of these same areas, including some Mid-Atlantic States. Our national disaster response charities are tapped out due the overwhelming need for relief aid. Some charities, such as the Red Cross, are reporting that they are now seeking loans to support its network of experienced workers and volunteers, due to their funds being depleted. The need your help more than ever.
Please donate whatever you can:
Donate to American Red Cross
Donate to Direct Relief International
Whoever you decide to give your money to, be sure to investigate them before you give.
If you are in the area or willing to travel, volunteers are always needed:
Volunteer for AmeriCorps
Volunteer with the Red Cross Disaster Services
