Heroes Helping at Home!
Thank you to all staff, volunteers and community members who assisted during the DR 769-08 Iowa Tornadoes and Floods. Together we accomplished so much and everyone's efforts were appreciated!! What a memorable point in time for our community; both sad and frustrating, yet a rewarding and huge learning experience for those involved in relief efforts. We continue to share our volunteer experiences and roll as an American Red Cross Disaster Relief volunteer to those in the community. If you are considering becoming a Red Cross volunteer please contact us soon... GOOD PEOPLE HELP, BECAUSE HELP CAN'T WAIT.
This level of response would not have been possible without the generous donations from the public that came in. THANK YOU! General donations to assist those in North Iowa can be made out to American Red Cross - North Central Iowa Disaster Relief. All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disasters. We honor donor intent; if you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster please do so at the time of your donation.

Disaster Services
Did you know? The American Red Cross responds to house fires more than any other disaster.
Red Cross DATeam volunteers provide on-the-scene emergency assistance to those suffering from disaster. Emergency assistance includes food, shelter, emotional support and other emergency items - and when additional assitance is needed, we're able to refer families to other resources in the community. Persons with disaster caused, immediate needs are encouraged to call 641-424-2454 or toll free 877-331-6751.
