The Disaster Recovery Coalition of Clinton County has been activated to effectively and compassionately respond to the immediate and long term needs of families and individuals impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
More than 15 human service organizations have committed to coordinate services and provide available resources to individual households, organizations, agencies and groups addressing the unmet needs related to the county’s long-term recovery from this pandemic. These organizations recognize that it will take the collective and collaborative resources of public, private, voluntary and faith-based segments of our region to meet individual and organizational needs during the next several months.
The Coalition has established a Clinton County Recovery Fund to meet immediate and long-term needs. Those needs may include:
Post-traumatic stress counseling, relocation assistance and financial assistance for basic needs created by the disaster
Infrastructure assistance to organizations impacted by the disaster and hindered in providing necessary aid to disaster victims
Augmentation, where appropriate, of emergency services being provided through individual organizations
Contributions toward these efforts may be mailed to the DRCCC, P.O. Box 1681, Clinton, Iowa 53733-1681 or by going to clintonunitedway.org/drccc
