COMMUNITY STRONG
Thousands of our neighbors in Nebraska and Iowa need our help as flooding displaces families, destroys homes and devastates communities. 100% of every donation to the Nebraska/Iowa Flood Relief Fund will be directed to nonprofit programs meeting people’s needs for emergency shelter, food and more. Donors will have the opportunity to direct their gift to a specific community within Nebraska or Iowa if they so wish.
