Montgomery County is hosting a flood recovery resource fair at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15 at Kirkwood High School for residents impacted by the floods that hit the Clarksville Montgomery County area in mid-February and early-April. 

The County is partnering with The United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region to assess local damages and identify where help is most needed. 

This event will bring resources together and connect residents to non-profits that can assist with temporary housing i.e. hotels, short-term rentals, clean up, repair work, and other services, and provide a free hot meal.

“We know cleanup is just beginning for most of these folks and, as we move into the recovery stage, we want them to know they are not alone. Our community is great at pulling together in times of need and our local non-profits are amazing partners. Their support is critical during this time,” said Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden. “We also want to assure residents we have been working to get the water out of these areas and won’t stop until we have both short and long-term solutions.”

The fair offers a place for residents the option to connect in person with organizations and non-profits for resources. Assistance is also available online, at www.cmcresponds.org.

The Salvation Army, Crisis 211, Manna Café, Spiritual/emotional care (Lutheran Disaster Services), TN Alliance for Legal Services, Cumberland Baptist Disaster Relief, Catholic Charities, Veteran’s Coalition, Military Empowerment, Team Rubicon the United Way, YAIPAK and others will be at the fair.
