On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the American Red Cross,
Salvation Army and the Northeast Illinois Community Organizations Active in
Disasters (COAD) will join other disaster service organizations as part of a
Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC). Residents impacted by the floods can come
to this one-stop, resource center in Round Lake Beach to meet with trained
counselors for resources, obtain housing and insurance information and other
assistance from team representatives. Also, the MARC will offer free in-kind
donations. There will be translators available.

Friday, July 21, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Lunch and dinner will be provided to clients.

Drop-Off Donation Site
To help ensure victims/clients receive the items they need, the
Salvation Army has created a toll-free Donation Hotline (888-369-1349) for
donors to call and get information on the specific items needed. Callers
will be asked to identify what items they have to donate and if they are not
useable items specifically for this flood, the Salvation Army will decline
receiving the donation. If they are non-perishable items that can be used in
this disaster (or future ones), they will be given an Authorization Code and
times the MARC is open to accept their donation. With the Authorization Code,
they may drive to the MARC at their convenience any of the three days and drop
off their items with designated Donation Management personnel. Callers can
leave a message and get a call back should they call after hours or during
times of heavy call volume.
