Transporte y caminos

Closures are changing constantly as crews clear debris and utilities work on lines. Check before you leave, not before you left.

Dial 511 or use the website. Do not check it while driving.

Les Stumpf Ford is offering two forms of help to anyone affected by the storm.

Free shuttle service. If you cannot get to a doctor's appointment or pick up essential prescriptions, call and ask for Shuttle Service. Transportation is provided within the Fox Valley for essential medical needs.

Donation drop-off and pick-up. Stop by during business hours to donate, or to pick up supplies if you need them. They are collecting and distributing:

• Bottled water
• Cleaning supplies and disinfecting wipes
• Work gloves
• Contractor trash bags
• Paper towels and toilet paper
• Flashlights and batteries
• Diapers and baby wipes
• Non-perishable food
• Gift cards (grocery, gas and home improvement)

The Society of St Vincent de Paul covers several of the gaps that are hardest to fill three weeks in.

• Gas cards and bus passes. If the problem is simply getting to work, to an appointment, or back to your own house to clear it
• Household goods, clothing and furniture from their thrift stores, given rather than sold, based on a conversation about what you need
• A food and hygiene pantry at the Neenah/Menasha location

You can apply online, for either location, using their Financial Assistance Request Form — and the form exists in Spanish (Formulario de Solicitud de Ayuda Financiera).

Neenah/Menasha — 920-727-1766 · SVDPNeenah.org Appleton — 920-739-1679 · SVDPAppleton.org

Volunteers meet with people to work out what is actually needed, so it is a conversation rather than a form-and-wait.

If you have been rehoused with nothing in the house

St Vincent de Paul's national disaster arm runs a programme called House in a Box — furniture, bedding and some appliances, packed as a kit and shipped to a household's new home. It is arranged through a local organisation rather than by you directly, so mention it when you speak to them, or to your case manager if you have one. SVDPDisaster.org
