EXCERPTS -

Unsolicited donations cause additional staffing and storage problems that local officials do not have the resources to manage.

If you want to help, cash is best. It doesn’t need to be sorted, stored or distributed, and cash allows the receiving voluntary agency to direct the donation to the most urgent needs.

To donate cash, visit www.aidmatrixnetwork.org/CashDonations/Default2.aspx?ST=Iowa

Those wishing to volunteer in a disaster-related capacity may sign up to do so at https://volunteer.truist.com/icovs/volunteer/register/
