The American Red Cross of Illinois is partnering with other local, state and non-profit disaster assistance organizations to open a Multi-Agency Resource Center for Williamson County residents who were impacted by the recent damaging storms and tornado.
This is a one-stop location where residents can access a variety of services and resources to help plan their next steps toward recovery.
Available services may include:
Social services
Senior support
Mental health services
Emergency supplies, such as totes, trash bags, gloves, and more
Hot meals
Trained Red Cross Caseworkers will be available at the resource center to help people create personal recovery plans, navigate paperwork and work on assistance for their specific disaster-caused needs. Representatives from a variety of government, nonprofit and religiously-affiliated disaster relief organizations will also be on hand to assist.
Those applying for assistance are asked to bring identification showing address and proof of residence to be eligible for assistance from some agencies.
The center will be open from 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Pavilion in Marion.
