A fundraising event to help neighbors affected by the February flooding event is set for Saturday, May 19 at River Park Square in Plymouth.
A community benefit concert is planned from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with music from Cool Change and The Ukulele Klub of Elkhart with entertainment by the Plymouth Juggling Club, Slow Orbit and many more.
The event is to help bridge the gap in funding and allow those displaced by the floods get back home. The money raised will stay in Marshall County and will go into a United Way fund and used to help buy supplies needed to get damaged homes back to a habitable condition.
Linda Yoder, Director of the Long Term Flood Relief Committee, told the Marshall County Council members this week that there are still flood survivors living in temporary housing situations nearly three months after the event.
Those who have an I Love My Community t-shirt are asked to wear those proudly on Saturday to recognize the volunteer efforts of the community during the crisis. T-shirts are still available for sale online and a link is available here. They may also be purchased during Saturday’s event.
