Food Needed For Kickapoo Flood Victims

As you probably know by now, it is estimated that 90% of the homes in Gays Mills and an unknown number in Soldiers Grove have been damaged by flood waters.  Additional damage abounds.  The Kickapoo Valley Association has been in contact with the Crawford and Vernon Counties Emergency Management representatives and is assisting in a food collection for the flood victims.

We have set up several food collection points in the valley.  Please bring non-perishable food only to these locations.  We will then collect it and deliver it to the distribution points.  We need your contribution by 5:00 PM on Friday, August 24.

The collection points we currently have are:

Peoples State Bank, Soldiers Grove

Bluedog Cycles, Viroqua

Cashton Mercantile, Cashton

George Wilbur Attorney/Celeste Gibson Office, LaFarge

Crooked River Resort, Readstown

Westby House, Westby

L & M BP, Wauzeka
