In response to the severe storms that pummeled Iowa on Aug. 10 and left many Iowans managing significant storm damage, loss of electricity and needing shelter, AT&T and Veridian Credit Union have teamed up on a $40,000 donation to Iowa Community Action Partnership to bring much-needed support to those hit hardest by the storm. Iowa Community Action Agencies will use this contribution to address unmet needs other programs cannot provide to assist those most in need. Additionally, AT&T has deployed mobile cell towers, generators and associated equipment to provide wireless services in affected areas, and is also waiving cellphone overage charges for customers in certain ZIP codes from Aug. 18 to 24. “When crisis strikes in Iowa, our communities really do come together to provide a helping hand,” said Lana Shope, the executive director of Iowa Community Action Association. “We thank AT&T and Veridian Credit Union for their contributions and for strengthening our efforts to help residents and farmers recover.”
