CityHeart
CityHeart
is the community outreach program at
Christ Church, Dayton
.They are responding as best they can to meet the needs of their neighbors in the community. CityHeart is a small but critical link in the system of emergency assistance in Dayton and Montgomery County.
At this time, CityHeart is depleting its financial resources in order to serve both the community it normally helps and to help the tornado victims that are referred to them by larger agencies (that are also overwhelmed).
CityHeart is in need of donations to help alleviate the impact to their budget. Direct donations to CityHeart can be made electronically via PayPal at their website
www.daytoncityheart.org
, or by check made payable to CityHeart, c/o Christ Episcopal Church, 20 W. First St., Dayton, OH 45402.
Presidential disaster declaration
Ohio was awarded a presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance (IA) June 18 for ten counties that were impacted by the Memorial Day tornado outbreak
