Flood with Love Flooded with Apps

After a slow start, officials from the Portage Health Foundation report they were overwhelmed with last-minute applications before Friday’s deadline for assistance from their flood relief fund. Executive Director Kevin Store told us they were sorting through the applications and crunching the numbers yesterday, as they began the process of evaluating them. They hope to have some specific numbers for us today. Meanwhile, even though the Portage Health Foundation deadline has passed, the Keweenaw Community Foundation is still accepting applications. Forms are available through Dial Help, which is also processing the applications. Successful applicants will receive a $1,000 pre-paid credit card, which can be used to pay for whatever type of assistance the recipient needs.
