We’re learning more about the funding available to help households facing challenges after the July 27 tornado.
Lindsay Fenlon, vice president of Community Engagement with the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, joined Focus Fox Valley to talk about funding that’s now available through the Community Response Fund.
She explains how the assistance works, who may qualify and how anyone can get started. Every household’s situation is different, and assistance is tailored to each family’s needs.
Anyone seeking assistance can contact either LEAVEN or People of Progression. Each organization is distributing direct assistance and will work with households to understand their individual circumstances and needs.
