Tornado Disaster Relief New Resources
8/15/2024
If you are someone who has suffered loss and damage from the 2024 tornadoes, here are a couple of resources that may help you restore and meet your unmet needs.
There is an organization made up of local leaders that form the Western Benton County Partnership. This group of people have a desire to protect and improve the quality of life for those who live in the western part of Benton County. Funds have been made available to this group for those who are trying to restore their life back to what it was before it was dramatically changed on May 26, 2024 when tornadoes ripped across Northwest Arkansas destroying everything in its path.
