The Wadena Otter Tail Long Term Recovery committee exists to address unmet needs for families and individuals in both counties who are struggling to recover from the impact of the June 17th tornadoes. Our special focus is to utilize donated funds to help persons with uninsured or underinsured losses that need assistance to repair, rebuild or replace essential property. The committee represents over twenty five area service organizations, government agencies, churches and schools.

ALL services offered by this committee are FREE to any person impacted by the June storms.

If you are one of these individuals or know someone who is still in need, please contact our office to see if we can be of assistance in some way. Call us at 218-632-7905 or visit our office at 119 Jefferson St S in downtown Wadena. (Next to Ben Franklin)
