Donate and Volunteer
- The Missouri State Emergency Management Agency has established a web portal to coordinate donations and volunteers. Keep in mind that cash is the preferred method because it offers voluntary agencies the most flexibility in obtaining the most-needed resources and pumps money into the local economy to help businesses recover as well.
- Those with medical skills interested in volunteering can go online at www.showmeresponse.org.
Remember, unsolicited donated goods such as used clothing, miscellaneous household items, and mixed or perishable foodstuffs require helping agencies to redirect valuable resources away from providing services to sort, package, transport, warehouse, and distribute items that may not meet the needs of disaster survivors.
Helping Survivors in Other States
- For those who have been affected in Minnesota or other states outside Missouri or those who want to help can visit www.fema.gov/howtohelp.
