More Flood Relief

Chany Scheiner October 13, 2013 Jewish Life Comments Off on More Flood Relief

Chabad of Boulder County is excited to make two new relief announcements!

1. We will be providing relief grants up to $500 per household, to local community members, who incurred significant damage in the flood. Please reach out to us if you need help and we will do our best to accommodate as many requests as we can handle.  Email Rabbi Scheiner at chabadofboulder@gmail.com or call 720 422 6776.

2. Due to the overwhelming response of our Loaves of Love initiative, where we deliver home made food for those affected by the flood,  we have decided to extend the program indefinitely.

Rule: if you know of anyone affected by the Flood please email chabadofboulder@gmail.com, with your friend’s phone number + house address , and a friendly Chabad representative will deliver a free delicious homemade meal to their home.

 

Special thanks to the Allied Jewish Federation and all the amazing supporters of the Chabad Relief Efforts, we would not be able to do any of this without you!

Some advice that we got from Jewish Organizations back East regarding FEMA:
According to national FEMA guidelines we have been advised that in order to have a potential successful appeal after being denied you must apply for the SBA loan even if you don’t end up taking it.  These departments work hand in hand with one another and we have seen people’s chances increase once they have gone this route.  Additionally, has anyone from FEMA given your community clear explanations regarding the SBA loans?  I don’t know the rate that they are offering and I understand that people are apprehensive about taking loans, however, there were people in our community who did take out loans with incredibly low interest rates over long periods of time.  If you ask us, this must be an avenue that you should explore.
