A new Multi Agency Resource Center (MARC) has opened at the former University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Fox Cities campus in Menasha, Wisconsin, to provide support to individuals and families impacted by the recent Fox Valley tornado.
Resources and Services
The center offers a range of resources and services, including emotional outreach and support, to help those affected by the tornado. The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, and LEAVEN are among the organizations with booths at the center.
According to Shannon Thies with the Salvation Army Fox Cities, the center is an opportunity for people to meet with multiple agencies in one place to determine their needs and how agencies can assist them. Thies emphasized the importance of having a team to support individuals as they rebuild and recover from the damages.
In addition to the center, the American Red Cross has teams delivering emergency supplies, such as gloves, rakes, and tarps, to families cleaning up after the tornado. The organization will also provide immediate assistance to those impacted in the coming days.
The center is open to everyone from 10 AM to 7 PM on Fridays and 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturdays.
