FESTUS, Mo. (KMOX) –Relief efforts continued Friday in flood-weary Jefferson County, Missouri.
Wesley United Methodist Church in Festus continues to collect donations for flood victims. Call 636-937-5853 or drop by the church at 3551 State Highway 61 to help.
The American Red Cross says its temporary shelter at Telegraph Intermediate School in Festus will close tomorrow, July 4th. The shelter had no occupants in its beds, Thursday night.
Red Cross volunteers are in the process of canvassing affected areas of Jefferson County, conducting flood damage assessments. That process allows caseworkers to better distribute services and resources to residents of areas like Festus and DeSoto.
The Red Cross donation number is 1-800-RED-CROSS, or you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
