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.
Volunteer Fox Cities - Get Connected
Official volunteer portal for current Fox Valley opportunities, including storm-response needs as participating organizations publish them.
Current status: Available online; opportunity schedules vary
Fox Valley Humane Association
Ways to support animals and displaced pet owners through monetary giving, requested supplies, and foster applications.
Current status: Coordinate before delivering supplies or expecting an immediate foster placement
The Community Blood Center
Schedule a blood or platelet donation to support local hospital patients during the Community Blood Center’s current emergency blood shortage.
Current status: Appointments and community drives vary by date and location
Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, United Way Fox Cities, and Oshkosh Area Community Foundation
Official coordinated fund supporting nonprofits and community organizations providing immediate relief, short-term response, and longer-term recovery after the July 27 tornado.
Current status: Donations and rolling grant applications are open
Donation pathway shown here because this page is about how to help. Organizational grant information from the same fund lives separately in Partner Support.
Organizations and businesses
If your organization needs capacity, can offer capacity, or knows of a current funding or support opportunity for recovery partners, use the Partner Board. Partner information stays separate from resident-facing resources and the neighbor Community Board.
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.
