<div>In the wake of the devastating May 16, 2025, tornado in London–Laurel County, Judge Executive David Westerfield and Mayor Randall Weddle have designated the United Way of Laurel County as the official organization to receive funds for long-term disaster recovery—just as it did following the 2012 tornado.
</div>
<div>The United Way of Laurel County is now accepting financial donations to support those affected. All funds will remain in Laurel County, with zero administrative fees, and will go directly to local disaster relief efforts and families. Contributions will assist with immediate needs and support the long-term recovery process.
</div>
<div>Established in 1956 and overseen by a volunteer board of seven Laurel Countians, the United Way of Laurel County has a long history of connecting donors with local organizations addressing the community’s most urgent needs. Beyond grantmaking, the organization actively engages with individuals and families to improve lives and strengthen the community.
</div>
<div>Through partnerships such as the Summer Feeding Program with KCEOC and initiatives focused on disaster relief, homelessness, home repair, and meeting children's basic needs, United Way continues to make a tangible difference.
</div>
<div>While many worthy organizations will be contributing to recovery efforts, we encourage you to consider supporting this official fund to help ensure a coordinated and effective response for the hundreds of families impacted by this storm.
</div>
<div>Funding for those impacted by the storm will begin promptly from the United Way via an in person application process at the disaster relief site.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The organizer of this fundraiser, Chris Robinson, works with City of London Tourism and Parks and volunteered to work with United Way to launch this campaign. All funds raised will go directly to United Way of Laurel County via GoFundMe
