Midwest Flooding: How You Can Help
Flooding continues to devestate areas across the Midwest, and the Red Cross reports its disaster relief fund is wiped out.
Find out how you can donate to help flood victims across the Midwest.
How To Donate
If you want to help flooding victims, we have just the way to do it. WGN has teamed up wtih the McCormick Tribune Foundation, the Chicago Cubs, and several other organizations to launch "Neighbors in Need 2008."
For every dollar donated, the foundation will match that donation towards flood victims up to $1 million. Money will support non-profit agencies providing relief to flood victims in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin.
If you would like to help the flood victims in the Midwest, you can donate at the Foundation's secure Web site: www.McCormickFoundation.org. You can also call their toll-free phone number at 1-866-242-5006 or mail a check to:
