Frequently Asked Questions


Where will my money go, and who will it help?

We are no longer collecting ourselves or via this website. All funds should now be donated directly to the Community Foundation of Crawford County (see the donations page).

The CFCC Board of Directors will determine how the funds are to be awarded based upon the unmet needs after receipt of the federal/state and charitable organizations assistance to the individuals in Crawford County affected by the 2004 Tornado.

For additional information please call Bonita Embry Coots, Executive Director: 812.633.2077.


Where can I still get a Photos and Memories CD?

We do apologize, but the CDs are no longer being produced. The Crawford County Public library was presented with two CDs (and a photo display) that may be checked out for viewing.


Who is DWG Solutions?

We're a small technology firm located in Marengo. We felt the production and distribution of the Photos and Memories CDs and this website were a way we could help raise money to rebuild our community.
