United Way launches Disaster Recovery Fund with $75K


From the release:

"One hundred percent of the money donated to this fund will go to recovery efforts."

In reflecting on the incredible work of volunteers and local agencies, [United Way CEO Dennis Smith] singled out American Red Cross. "The Red Cross and local agencies led by County Executive John Lovick and Snohomish County Emergency Management Director John Pennington have done a tremendous job in the relief effort. When the affected communities are ready to start moving toward recovery, we will be ready, too," he added.

United Way will work with local elected officials, community groups and others in Darrington, Oso and Arlington to distribute the funds.
