Monetary Donations Accepted to Disaster Relief Fund to Help Hurricane Victims
The Charles County Commissioners announce that citizens may donate to
the Charles County Disaster Relief Fund to assist residents who were
affected by the September 18, 2003, hurricane. Funds will be distributed
based on verified out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the victims that
will not be covered by insurance or through other public or private
agencies.
The Disaster Relief Fund was first established by the County
Commissioners in May, 2002 to provide funds to assist individuals and
businesses directly impacted by the April 28, 2002, tornado or any
future disasters. The Fund is a 501(3) C non-profit organization so all
monetary donations are tax-deductible. Administrative costs will be
absorbed by the County Government so that every dollar donated goes
directly to those in need. Distribution of the funds is determined by a
five-member committee, which reviews victims' applications for
assistance.
For more information on the Fund and/or application process, call the
Charles County Department of Fiscal Services at 301-645-0570.
