Kansas Health Foundation donates to relief fund for Eureka tornado victims
The Kansas Health Foundation has donated $50,000 to the Emporia Community Foundation to help provide aid to victims affected by the tornado that struck Eureka on the evening of July 7.
The Emporia Community Foundation established the Eureka Tornado Relief fund to benefit victims of the tornado that damaged more than 150 homes and businesses. Thanks to ample warning and appropriate responses by residents, no deaths or injuries occurred.
The tornado was strong enough to be rated an EF-2 by the National Weather Service, with maximum winds of nearly 135 miles an hour.
