Relief efforts pour in from near and far for flood victims

Recent flooding after torrential rains have triggered a large number of relief efforts, ranging from official government disaster declarations to neighbors simply helping a friend in need. National, tribal, state, local, religious, community and other organizations contributed to the efforts.

The examples are too numerous to mention in full, but on November 9, Utah and San Juan County Farm Bureau officials worked with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to deliver nearly 3,000 pounds of beef to the Utah Food Bank for distribution to San Juan County residents. In addition, they distributed $15,000 worth of blankets that were donated by Minky Couture.

Utah State University in Blanding collected and distributed donations from across the area.
