Region One Relief Fund
The Region One Relief Fund can be utilized by all members of the region for assistance to help offset some of the things that have come up unexpectedly. These things might be essential medicines not covered by insurance (Copy of previous prescription receipts necessary), food that cannot be supplied by local assistance organizations, clothing (especially due to fire/flood/tornado) or to pay utilities that cannot be paid by state agencies or local assistance organizations.
An applicant may apply as many times as necessary until he or she has received help. Once an applicant has received help he or she may not apply again. The Relief Fund is a one-time help fund. We cannot send funds to one or two people repeatedly.
