Services
Flood Them With Love provided the following services to individuals and families who were directly impacted by the Cedar Rapids flood in 2008:
- Provided in-home assessments of basic needs and provides furniture and other basic household items to survivors from our 15,000 square- foot warehouse.
- Our partner organization, Horizons, A Family Service Alliance offered clients credit counseling, loan service mediation, Meals on Wheels, family support, mental health counseling, and "I Can" Programs.
- Offered vouchers for building materials though our business partner, Ogden and Adams Lumber.
- Offered vouchers for additional furniture needs, especially beds, through our business partner, Bills' Bros. Furniture.
- Served as advocates to elected officials and agencies at the federal, state and local level on behalf of flood-impacted individuals and helps families navigate confusing paperwork and procedures.
- Networked with other helping agencies for assitance we are unable to provide. For example, when the shelters are full, Flood Them with Love partnered with Howard Johnson's Motel to help homeless families.
