After the Fire

If you are not insured, your recovery from a fire loss will be based upon your own resources and help from outside organizations.

Private organizations in this area that lend assistance include The Salvation Army, The American Red Cross - Greater Kansas City Chapter, Lion's Club, and Catholic Social Services.

Your private church or synagogue can also put you in touch with your denomination's helping group. Each can help with food, rent, utilities, and other services.

If your fire is a result of a natural disaster, both private and government sponsored services usually work together to coordinate services for those in need. The American Red Cross will refer you to a network of groups that will help you with clothing and furnishings.
