Turn goodwill into useful action
Choose a coordinated, currently requested way to support Fox Valley recovery. The best help is specific, safe, and connected to a real need.
Current established channels
These are separate lanes because volunteering, money, goods, fostering, blood donation, and neighbor-to-neighbor help require different coordination.

Current status: Ongoing standby registration; assignments are shared as needs are confirmed

Neighbor-to-neighbor
Post only what you can actually provide. State the service or item, where you can help, when you are available, your capacity or limits, whether it is free or paid, and the safest way to contact you.
Help the information stay useful
You can help without doing physical work. Share verified official information, help someone call 211 or use a recovery form, submit a missing established resource, or report something that has closed or changed.
