As many are probably aware, there was a house fire in our community last night. We have been in communication with multiple organizations helping this family and want to get some information out as quickly as possible. We want to make sure our love actually lands in the most helpful way possible.
💛 HOW TO HELP:
A bank account has been set up at Northwest Bank in the family's name "Carney Community Support Fund" for direct cash donations.
Gift cards are also being gratefully accepted — especially:
• Walmart
• Amazon
• Gas station cards
• Visa/Mastercard gift cards (usable anywhere, state to state)

A note on disaster response — because our hearts are in the right place and so should our help:
Whether it's a house fire or a federally declared disaster, the most important thing we can do for survivors is give them a choice. When disaster strikes, control, privacy, and dignity are stripped away along with belongings. Survivors still have preferences, allergies, and personal needs that none of us on the outside know about. Sometimes physical donations, however loving, can quickly become a second wave of overwhelm.
Cash and gift cards put the power back in their hands. That's not a lesser gift — it's often the greatest one.
Share this post, give a gift card, or stop by Northwest Bank. Every dollar is a decision given back to a family who needs it.
❤️ Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up. We are and it shows in moments like this when we see a community rally around those that need it most.
