After The Storm came to our community after we were rocked by local tornadoes looking for ways to help. Our community realized quickly we didn’t have the resources to do case management to help those impacted by the tornadoes, and After The Storm stepped up in a big way to help our community. With their help, we have been able to assist families impacted by the tornadoes in a fraction of the time it would have taken us to do the same work on our own. They kept all of their work focused on our community, hiring case workers locally, and ensuring funding decisions were made by local leadership. Should we ever be impacted by a similar event in the future, we will be sure to partner with After the Storm again.

"Gaylord lacked nonprofit capacity before the tornado hit. I knew our community would rally. But what kept me up at night was the lack of case management.Who would help the survivors? After the Storm is an answer to prayer and important piece of the recovery puzzle."
Dana BensingerCEO - Otsego Community Foundation 
"Case managing here in Detroit, you realize people are used to dealing with disasters every day. I’m very proud to be a part of the solution. To have someone on your side that you can trust and be transparent with, there is no better feeling."
