We continue to send out our thoughts and prayers to those affected by the Midwest Floods.

This weekend, we have another opportunity to use our grassroots movement to make a real impact at a time of urgent need.
In Quincy, Illinois the river is expected to crest on Monday or Tuesday. A sandbagging operation is going on from 6:00 am - 6:00 pm today and throughout the weekend. Local officials have put out a public call for all volunteers who are able to help. If you can assist, please travel to the Oakley-Lindsey Civic Center in Quincy this weekend.
If you are not able to make it to Quincy but would like to help, please visit the
http://www.redcross.org/">American Red Cross to donate to their relief efforts or find out how to get involved.
