HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Volunteer agencies, and local, state and federal government agencies provided information and assistance through a Multi-Agency Resource Center for those affected by the recent wildfires.

Trained caseworkers were on hand to help people create personal recovery plans, navigate paperwork and locate assistance for their specific disaster-caused needs such as housing information, groceries, clothing, medicine, household items, clean up support and financial assistance.
The MARC provided a one stop shop for individuals and families. Those applying for assistance were required to bring identification showing their address and proof of residence to be eligible for assistance from some agencies.
