In times of disaster, every United Way works diligently to organize resources and connect those in need with those who can support, coordinate volunteer efforts, bridge communication and leverage relationships to ensure our neighbors have the support they need to recover. Several areas in our five-county footprint experienced severe flooding and property damage. We're working to craft a plan with partners for mid- and long-term recovery.
If you are in need of support, please call 211. Visit our main Disaster Recovery page for tips and resources or on our social media platforms for the latest information.
