Flood Relief Resources
As a life long resident of Stone county, one of the things I’m most proud of, is how we come together in times like this. I’m compiling a list of resources where people can find the help they need, or offer their assistance to those in need. This isn’t the only list out there, but a lot of resources are only posted in social media, and if you aren’t a part of those groups, you may not know what options are available.
