From Catholic Charities: Hundreds of families in Postville are facing uncertainty following the destructive fire at the Agri Star Meat & Poultry Plant. While the fire did not cause any reported injuries to those at the plant, the repercussions of losing a major employer are just beginning to reverberate across the community. Without the stability of employment, already vulnerable families will soon be facing impossible decisions about rent, utilities, groceries, and their future in Postville. Community agencies and faith communities have mobilized to respond to this community disaster. We are grateful to our partners across the network for upholding the dignity of those in need. We are collaborating with our partner agencies to assess needs and establish long-term recovery plans. As part of this effort, we (Catholic Charities) have established a disaster relief fund at https://catholiccharitiesdubuque.org/postville to help families with long-term stability. For those interested in contributing to this effort, 100% of donations will be distributed to those impacted by the fire. The Archdiocese of Dubuque and Catholic Charities ask for your prayers for the Postville community during this difficult time. We will share more information about emerging needs as it becomes available. |
