Logan Iowa Mayor Covid-19 Response Fund
Donation protected
The purpose of asking for help is to collect and funnel private donations to support people and families from Logan, IA who need help paying for groceries during the Covid-19 crisis.
And to encourage at-risk people to stay at home and take advantage of Logan Super Food’s delivery service during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Cash donations from this campaign will buy groceries for people in need of food due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak. Please consider giving to our cause. 100% of funds collected will go to buy food.
If you are not sure about donating online--cash or check donations are being accepted at the Logan State Bank. Simply inform the bank clerk that you want your donation to go the "grocery fund."
If half of Logan’s residents each donate $5 we would raise enough to support 75 families. Please consider donating today. Thank-you.
Contact mayor Clint McDonald for more information.
Details Below:
Donated funds are only available for people who have a Logan, IA address and who have self-identified as needing help during this time to buy groceries at Logan's only grocery store.
Available only for groceries that are delivered directly to the homes from Logan Super Foods. This program is designed to give help to at-risk people/families that have decided to self-isolate during the Covid-19 crisis and who need help with paying for groceries regardless of cause.
Impacted families need to reach out to Mayor Clint McDonald by calling his home telephone number. Or by calling the Logan City Hall and asking for the Mayor's cell number. Once residents contact the Mayor, he will fill them in on additional information and issue the $50 grocery voucher. Residents in need can also reach out to one of the 3 other oversight committee members listed below.
The committee will then issue a $50 grocery voucher to the individuals needing assistance on a first come first serve basis. The vouchers are worth a maximum of $50 and any unused portion of the $50 voucher will go back into the fund to help other Logan residents.
Residents receiving vouchers can only use one voucher at a time, and only on the days that Logan Super Foods is offering the delivery option during the Covid-19 crisis, (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday). With a total limit of $100 dollars per week per address. This limit is so we can reach as many people in need as possible. For larger families living at the same address more than one $50 voucher may be issued with approval from the oversight committee, based on donated funds available.
Once residents have been given a $50 voucher number all they have to do is simply call Logan Super Foods [phone redacted] to place their orders and determine delivery times. The committee will reimburse Logan Super Foods for every voucher used. Remember delivery is only available for Mondays, Wednesdays, Friday and Saturday.
Donated funds will be limited to food and other necessities such as fever reducing medications. Alcohol, tobacco products and other non-essential items are not eligible for this voucher program.
An over-sight committee consisting of Chris Hartwig, Kim Fisher and Brianne Niedermeyer has been set-up to oversee all processes. At no time will the committee ever release the names and private information of Logan residents who have reached out for help.
One hundred percent of the donated funds that we receive will be dispersed to support individuals and families as outlined above. Mayor Clint McDonald or the oversight committee will not retain any portion of donated funds to cover administration costs.
When the Covid-19 crisis has passed, all unused funds from private donations will be donated to the Logan Iowa Senior Center Meal Site and the West Central Community Action food pantry in Logan, IA.
Our goal is to raise $15,000 so that we can help 150 to 300 families based on need for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis. If more funds are raised, we will be able to help more people. Another way to look at is If half of Logan’s residents each give $5 we would raise enough support for 75 families. No amount is too little to donated and every donation will be appreciated.
The program is limited to the funds available at the time that the resident contacts the Mayor. If no funds are available at that time, a list will be kept in the case additional funds come available. These funds will then be available on a first come first serve basis.
Due to the timeliness of this issue, the committee did not have time to set-up a tax-exempt status. So donating to this cause is not tax deductible to our understanding. Contact your tax adviser for more information.
Lastly, this is not a function of Logan City Government. It has been done with all volunteer efforts, and at no time were taxpayer funds or city resources used to establish this fund or administer this program. This is solely a donation device to funnel funds to needy individuals as outlined above. Due to the nature of this program and the daily unpredictability of events surrounding the Covid-19 crisis we will do our best to serve all those that come to our attention but we cannot make any commitments that we will be able to serve everyone equally. It will truly be administered on a first come first serve basis while donated funds are available. The committee reserves the right to end the program at any time.
Thank-you,
Mayor Clint McDonald
