We have just talked to Brian Lewis with FEMA and he has informed us that they have received 23,915 applications for the north half of Iowa. It is too early for them to be concentrating on the southern portion of Iowa as the waters have not receded. Linn County where Cedar Rapids is located has registered 7,776 alone. The northern half of the state is needing volunteers for mucking out, clean-up of debris, etc. We will be getting into the rebuilding later.
You may have the volunteers contact us at IAUMVIM@gmail.com or by telephone 515-432-1226. Volunteers can keep abreast of the situation at www.iaumc.org/volunteer. Volunteers are needed now and we do have housing available in churches as well as with other agencies.
