Carson King Foundation derecho relief funds to United Way of Jasper County
ALTOONA - The Carson King Foundation donated $10,000 to United Way of Jasper County to assist with relief efforts and help those impacted by the Aug. 10 derecho.
Carson King, namesake and president of The Carson King Foundation, has been working with Iowa nonprofits to support disaster relief since the derecho swept through 27 Iowa counties and caused billions of dollars in damage to homes, businesses and crops.
"The devastation left in the wake of the derecho was heartbreaking," King said. "We knew we needed to help those impacted in a meaningful way."
King presented the $10,000 check to Jessica Lowe Vokes, UWJC executive director, on Sept. 3. Lowe Vokes said the donation has been earmarked to support homeless prevention programs, utilities assistance and fight food insecurity for those hit hardest by the derecho. She added the funds will be distributed through local health and human service agencies throughout Jasper County.
"The $10,000 comes at a critical time as individuals are still reeling from the aftermath of the derecho," Lowe Vokes said. "Many are just now learning some things are not covered by insurance or they may not qualify for certain aid. These funds will serve local residents who were hit hardest by the storm."
King, most notably recognized as the sign-holding Iowa State Cyclones fan who raised more than $3 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, has raised well over $60,000 so far in derecho relief funds through his foundation. The foundation has distributed funds to United Way of Johnston and Washington Counties, United Way of Eastern Iowa, United Way of Central Iowa and the Marshalltown Community Foundation. King, a native of Jasper County, said he was proud to be able to support his friends and neighbors in Jasper.
"As a Prairie City native, I’m proud to help Jasper County in any way possible," King said. "2020 has been a difficult year for so many and we hope these funds will help people get back on their feet quickly."
Those needing assistance can refer to the Jasper County Storm Resource Guide at unitedwayofjaspercounty.org, call United Way's 2-1-1 helpline or visit fema.gov. To learn more about The Carson King Foundation and its efforts follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or visit carsonkingfoundation.org.
"We are so grateful to Carson and those who helped make this contribution a reality because the need is out there," Lowe Vokes said. "I know many people are still struggling due to the pandemic and then the storm. These funds will truly make a difference for so many here in Jasper County."
