submissions However, I would be remiss not to mention the challenges
we have faced. Earlier this fall, many of our members and their

December 20–January 6 efforts.
Winter Holiday How To Help:
1. Donate Monetary Support
While the DKGIEF Emergency Fund is always available to help
our members in need, there are many additional organizations

working tirelessly in disaster recovery efforts. The American Red
Cross [Redcross.org] and the US Government official website for
Disaster Assistance [DisasterAssistance.gov] are excellent places
to start. For those in areas impacted by natural disasters, please
know that you can apply for assistance through these channels as
well. To learn more about the DKGIEF Emergency Fund visit www.

2. Donate Your Time
Rebuilding after a natural disaster takes time and effort.
Organizations such as Habitat for Humanity’s Disaster Response
Program [Habitat.org/our-work/disaster-response] are always
looking for volunteers to help with the rebuilding process. Your
time and skills can make a significant difference in helping
communities recover. See DIR p. 5
