WELFARE AND DISASTER COUNCIL FORMED
TO HELP IN EVERY CASE OF IMMEDIATE NEED
(The third in a series of arti
cles explaining the functions of
the various agencies benefitting
from Community Chest funds
in the Matanuska Valley.)
* The welfare and disaster council
of the Community Chest is the
Valley’s own local welfare or
ganization. It was organized to
fill the gap between the time
when an emergency need arises
until a larger, but more distant
agency, can begin to function.
For instance, when a fire de
stroys a home, and with it all the
clothing and bedding of the fam
ily, the need for aid is immediate.
The welfare and disaster council
is acquiring a supply of bedding
and clothing to be stored for use
in time of emergencies like this.
When situations arise that are
beyond the ability of the local
organiaztion to help, council
members will help in filing forms
and in referring the applicant to
the proper agency to assist him.
The Valley’s welfare and dis
aster council was organized for
the first time this summer as a
separate agency of Community
Chest. Council members hope to
establish a thrift shop in the near
future, at which used clothing,
furniture, toys and books will be
sold. Lack of housing for th proj
ect has this plan stopped for the
present.
The work of the council is car
ried on by a three-member emer
gency committee, appointed anew
