Community Foundation Activates Disaster Relief Fund

SALISBURY – The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore has activated its Disaster Relief Fund to assist recovery efforts for areas devastated by Hurricane Harvey. The Foundation will match the first $5,000 in donations to this emergency fund.

One hundred percent of the contributions to the Community Foundation’s “Disaster Relief Fund” will be directed to the Greater Houston Community Foundation’s Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. This will support the long term recovery efforts for the storm-ravaged region.

“As the magnitude of the catastrophe confronting Texas and the Gulf coastal region unfolds, it is clear that a sustained relief effort will be required to assist survivors and their communities,” said Erica Joseph, CFES President. “We last utilized our Disaster Relief efforts in response to local needs from Superstorm Sandy and saw firsthand the generosity from those outside our region.”
