Tornado Relief Assistance
Impacted by the recent tornado in the Fox Cities?
LEAVEN may be able to provide one-time financial assistance through designated tornado relief funds.
In response to the July 27, 2026, tornado that devastated communities in the tri-county region of Winnebago, Calumet, and Outagamie Counties, significant resources were activated and moved to support local nonprofits and community organizations at the center of tornado relief and recovery efforts.
Please note: LEAVEN provides flexible, one-time financial assistance based on the individual impact and circumstances of each household as a result of the recent tornado. Assistance levels are determined through an impact assessment designed to understand the severity and breadth of the tornado's effects on the household.
This funding is separate from LEAVEN’s regular assistance services.
