Mayer: Community Response Meetings in 25th District Regarding Aid for Families, Farms and Businesses

Jefferson City — Senate Leader Robert N. Mayer, R-Dexter, would like to remind families and businesses in the 25^th District and other areas in southeast Missouri who have been affected by the recent flooding to attend one of the many community response meetings scheduled to help individuals learn more about the resources, tools and services provided by the state that are available to assist them during this time.

“From providing unemployment and re-employment assistance and training for displaced workers to receiving drinking water, temporary housing and food assistance, these meetings are designed to help citizens get back on their feet,” said Sen. Mayer. “I understand these meetings are not an overnight remedy, but they will provide much-needed assistance to those Missourians who have been affected by one of Mother Nature’s most devastating occurrences.”

Leaders from various state agencies, as well as county and federal officials, will be available after the meeting to visit with citizens. For more information on these meetings, please contact my office.
