Part 1: The August 14 flood

On Friday, August 14, a heavy monsoon rain overwhelmed the drainage and a flash flood tore through Hurricane. Homes filled with water and mud. Belongings that families spent a lifetime gathering were ruined in an afternoon. Many of the households hit hardest had no flood insurance, and some could not have bought it if they tried. They are still digging and they still need help!

Three ways people helped after the August flood

Any one of these makes a real difference. Pick whichever fits what you have to give.

1. Give to the relief fund

  • Every dollar goes straight to Hurricane families rebuilding after the flood. It is the fastest way to help, and it lets us buy exactly what is missing as needs change week to week. You get a tax receipt.

2. Drop off supplies

  • After the August flood, three places around Hurricane took donated goods: furniture, appliances, clothes, mattresses, food and building materials. For the October flood, please wait for details before bringing items.

3. Give your time or trade

  • Mud still has to come out of yards, and homes need cabinets hung, trim run and floors laid. If you swing a hammer, run a skid steer, or just have a free Saturday, we will put you to work.
