Our southwest Iowa communities, as well as our neighbors in eastern Nebraska, are coping with heartbreaking loss and destruction caused by a series of tornadoes and storms that tore through the region on Friday, April 26.
We immediately received inquiries on how to help. This page will be a primary resource for community members impacted and who want to assist. We will be updating resources and volunteer opportunities as they become available. Please check this page often for updates.

Donate to the emergency relief fund
