The Red Cross has been a lifesaver in many parts of Iowa. I don't know of any local organizations for them that are helping but Iowa has that help your neighbor viewpoint. Which I think is great in any kind of emergency, it's amazing to watch communities pul together.
My Mom siad the local butcher stopped by their place to see if they needed any help because he knew the two little old ladies live alone. A kid down the road came by and took away tree branches and dug a ditch so the water would go away from the basement. He wouldn't even take any money she said.
I'm just glad there are people to help them out because I am way too far away to do anything.
