The United Way of Hancock County established a flood relief fund with First National Bank. United Way has placed $10,000 to start helping families affected by the flood. You can make donations to the fund at any First Federal bank location in Northwest Ohio. You can also contribute online at liveunitedhancockcounty.org/give and put “flood relief” in the comment section.

100% of funds will help with replacing appliances, furniture, and renovation costs. CEO John Urbanski said, “Many of the people affected by this flood are just one major expense or disaster away from poverty.”
