The Arkansas Disaster Relief Program has offered two methods for making monetary donations to those impacted by the recent severe storms in northern Arkansas.
Those wishing to make electronic donations can go to this website:
https://ar.accessgov.com/adem/Forms/Page/adem/disaster-recovery/0
Once on the donation page, an amount can be selected to those who would like to give.
Donations can also be mailed to the DFA. Checks should be made payable to the DFA with the notation: Donation for Disaster Relief. The mailing address for donations is:
DFA-OAS
PO Box 2485
Little Rock, AR 72203
If you wish your donation to go to a specific declared community, a note should be written either on the check or sent along with the check. DFA will deposit the funds into the Arkansas Disaster Relief Program fund to be utilized by the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM).
All donations to the Arkansas Disaster Relief Program are tax‐deductible and donors will receive a receipt for tax purposes after donating.
