Midland Area Community Foundation and Long-Term Recovery Group to host Flood Recovery Session focused on Sanford
Midland Area Community Foundation (MACF), in conjunction with the Long-Term Recovery Group, will be focusing on the recovery work taking place in Sanford on the February 11th Flood Recovery Session via Zoom.
“The Flood Recovery Sessions have been successful at connecting the Midland community directly with those involved with flood recovery work,” said Sharon Mortensen, President and CEO of the Midland Area Community Foundation and member of the Long-Term Recovery Group Steering Committee. “Sanford has been impacted in ways that go much further than the surface of the flood. The upcoming Flood Recovery Session will be an open forum where leaders in Sanford’s recovery process can speak directly with donors and those impacted by the unfortunate flooding event.”
Flood Recovery Update and Connections are open to everyone. Attendees are asked to register for sessions at www.midlandfoundation.org/zoomintoflood. Februrary 11th’s Flood Recovery Session will take place at 10:30am. Sessions are held monthly on the second Thursday of the month.

She will explain the work of case management in conjunction with the Long-Term Recovery Group.
