HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR AREA…

First Lutheran church still has totes available for those needing them, and will provide meals and clean up supplies as long as they last. Donations of gas cards and gift cards are sought by First Lutheran to be distributed to those impacted by the storms earlier this month.

Those impacted by those storms are asked to email their name, address, damage and expected costs to StormDamage2025@washingtoncountyne.gov.

The information will be used to show a need for federal emergency funds.
