Earlier this week, the Central Adirondacks experienced severe flooding. As a result, the hard-hit communities of Long Lake, Indian Lake, and Blue Mountain Lake need urgent assistance. That's why the Adirondack Foundation is activating its Special and Urgent Needs (SUN) Fund to provide support where needed most.
Across the Adirondacks, people and organizations are rallying together to ensure central Adirondack communities have the resources to recover from the flood damage. We kindly ask for your help in supporting the SUN Fund or another organization providing immediate assistance to those affected.
The fastest way to help is to donate online at the Adirondack Found’s website. Remember to specify the gift is for “Central Adirondacks flooding.”
If you prefer to wire a check, please make it payable to Adirondack Foundation SUN Fund. In the memo line, write "Central Adirondack Flooding" and include the specific community (if applicable). Mail your donation to Adirondack Foundation at PO Box 288, Lake Placid, NY 12946. Rest assured, local town governments will distribute these funds according to the unique needs of each community.
In addition to The Adirondack Foundation, many organizations working to help Central Adirondack communities. For example, the American Red Cross of Eastern New York is a trusted partner in the early stages of a disaster.
These local organizations would also be grateful for your support.
Together, we can make a difference and help our neighbors recover after this devastating flooding. We appreciate your support.
We want to acknowledge and thank the tireless efforts of the courageous first responders, DEC emergency managers, Adirondack Park Rangers and other exceptional individuals and organizations doing all they can to assist all affected.
