1. FLOOD INFORMATION: To help those impacted by the flood, be they property owner, renter, or business, the Cavendish Guide for Flood Recovery is available on-line. Please share with neighbors and friends who may be too busy to notice it. It’s regularly updated, sometimes daily, with new resources as they become available.
Vermont Emergency Eats Program (VEE): is a flood response program targeted to feed disrupted populations in flood ravaged communities. People in Ludlow, Cavendish, Plymouth, Weston and Londonderry can sign up to receive meal vouchers for every member of their household that can be exchanged for a VEE meal at participating restaurants. Each resident can receive 1-2 meal vouchers each for up to seven days. Check in once every week of August to get another week's worth of vouchers. The program will run through 8/31/2023. To register for your vouchers go to Black River Good Neighbors in Ludlow M-F, from 10-4. Vermont Emergency Eats is brought to you locally courtesy of FEMA, Governor Phil Scott, multiple state agencies, SEVCA, the Springfield Family Center and Chester Helping Hands.
Do you need help navigating FEMA applications and insurance claims? Free legal services are now available from volunteers at the Vermont Bar Association and the Vermont Law and Graduate School. The organizations are also offering services to small business owners who have questions about leases on unusable properties, and other flood-related issues. Flood survivors in need of legal services can sign up for the program by visiting the Vermont Bar Association’s website.
Vermont Realtors Funds: There are two different pots of money from Vermont Realtors for relief efforts. Check and see if one of them is right for you. As always please share with neighbors and friends, who've been impacted but may not be on-line.
