AFA Disaster Relief
Update
The AFA Disaster Relief Team is currently at work in all areas
affected by the recent Iowa floods, and continues to work in
surrounding states also.
At this time, all requests for assistance have been met.
However, as storm waters rise we anticipate there will be
additional needs. If
you know of anyone who is in need of assistance, please go to the
Disaster Relief Information page to
learn more.
The Disaster Relief Information page
also allows you to donate to the AFA Disaster Relief fund.
Donating can be your way of assisting us as we assist others.
I sincerely appreciate all the individuals, clubs and other
groups who have donated.
I appreciate all the offers that have come in to help those in need.
I am compiling a list of those offers and, if the need arises
in your area, I may contact you for assistance.
Meanwhile, keep those in the areas of disaster in your
thoughts and prayers.
This is a time when we can pull together to meet the needs of those
aviculturists who will be ready to help us when we were in need.
Thank you so much.
