The Long Term Disaster Recovery Group, a team formed of multiple organizations across the Ohio Valley following the June flooding in Ohio County, would like to provide updated case numbers to the community. These numbers reflect the group's efforts in helping victims recover from the tragic events that occurred on June 14-15, 2025. The Long Term Disaster Recovery Group retains 0 admin fees from flood donations. We want to remind you that the monies distributed can help with most aspects of recovery, including simple items such as water heater replacement.
The numbers provided do not reflect the Federal Emergency Management Agency's efforts.

What an incredible afternoon we had at our 2026 Donor Luncheon yesterday!

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us yesterday to celebrate the power of philanthropy across the Ohio Valley. From conversations to announcements about the future of CFOV, the room was filled with generosity, hope, and a shared commitment to this region we all care so deeply about.

Thank you to our donors, partners, volunteers, community leaders, and friends for continuing to believe in the work we do together. Because of you, we are able to respond to community needs, invest in lasting impact, and help build a stronger future for the Ohio Valley.

Special thanks to our friends at Clearstead for sponsoring this year’s luncheon and for their continued partnership. We would also like to thank the Capitol Theatre, Savvy Sellebrations, and Elle&Jack's for helping to make this event possible.
