Lewis County Long Term Recovery Group for Unmet Needs
The Lewis County Long Term Recovery Group exists to bring hope, coordination, and practical support to individuals and families facing unmet needs after a disaster. When immediate emergency response ends, this group steps in to bridge the gap—uniting nonprofits, faith-based organizations, volunteers, and community partners to assess needs, prioritize assistance, and restore stability for those most impacted. By working collaboratively and compassionately, the group ensures resources are used wisely, duplication of services is avoided, and survivors receive the support necessary to recover with dignity and resilience, helping Lewis County rebuild stronger and more connected than before.
