Find Ways to Donate on Save Iowa

Save Iowa was setup to help those affected by the historic 2008 Iowa Floods but a lot of the resources gathered are valuable to any cause. Below are online resources setup to assist those in need.

Cedar Valley Humane Society

We are currently accepting donations to help our efforts at the CVHS and to supply victims of the flood with pets supplies. Monetary donations as well as pet items are welcome. Save Iowa encourages donations to the Cedar Valley Humane Society

American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund

The Red Cross anticipates spending in excess of $15 Million for recent disasters. Already, more than 1,400 Red Cross workers are assisting people in the affected area, and the organization is gearing up to provide additional relief. These operations will cost the Red Cross millions of dollars and the help of the American public is needed to meet the growing needs. Over the past days, the Red Cross has responded to the floods in Iowa.

University of Iowa Flood Relief Fund

For those wishing to support the University as it struggles to recover from flood-related damage not covered by insurance or other resources, we encourage contributions to the UI Flood Relief Fund. Gifts of all sizes are needed and appreciated, and the first priority is to assist UI students and employees who have been displaced from their homes by flooding.

United Way 2008 Midwest Flood Recovery Fund

With your help, United Way will continue the enduring work to put lives and communities back together. What took the floods just a few days to destroy will take years to rebuild. Gifts to the United Way 2008 Midwest Flood Recovery Fund will support services that help to bring a community back better than before (e.g. housing, mental health, quality child care, job training).

Black Hawk County Disaster Relief

Donations are being accepted through Cedar Valley United Way to meet the needs of victims of this disaster. Black Hawk County Disaster Recovery will meet on a case-by-case basis until the unmet needs of the community are cared for.

Feed the Children

Devastating floodwaters are moving down the Mississippi River, swamping levees in Illinois and Missouri after record flooding in Iowa. Thousands of children and families have suddenly had their lives turned totally upside down.

World Cares Center

World Cares Center (WCC) collaborates with community groups, municipalities and relief agencies to more effectively integrate and utilize community volunteers, to prepare citizens to safely participate in their communities’ emergency response, and to foster recovery and resilience in those affected by disaster.

World Vision

In response to flooding throughout the Midwest of the United States, Direct Relief International has extended offers of support to national, statewide, and regional networks of community clinics and healthcare centers. It has also reached out to colleague organizations working in the area to coordinate efforts.

Direct Relief International

The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), notified Direct Relief that the Community Health Center of Southeastern Iowa in Columbus Junction was completely flooded. The center is one of the few points of care for poor and uninsured residents in the county, according to NACHC.

Iowa Relief Auction for Evacuated Animals

There are several hundred dogs, even more cats, and other companion animals being housed in temporary evacuation shelters in Cedar Rapids. Many, many more animals are still stranded in the tens of thousands of abandoned homes. On top of everything, the Cedar Rapids Animal Shelter has been completely destroyed.
