Recent flooding severely impacted many of our local farmers. Some have been devastated by the swollen and raging flood waters and have lost not only crops, cattle and products they produce, but also equipment, homes, barns, production facilities and much more.
Olympia Flood Aid is a collective of musicians and friends organizing benefit concerts throughout the year to help provide relief for impacted farms. We've set up this page as a sort of catch-all page for the benefit - blog, message board, musician meet-up, publicity, and so forth.
Our intent is to donate all money received during our first event to the Olympia Food Co-op's Flood Relief Fund. The Flood Relief Fund donates all money received directly to farmers, with no overhead. You can also donate now by visiting the Co-op.
Thanks to all who volunteered, played and attended the first Olympia Flood Aid. It was a complete success. We raised $8,000 for flood damaged farms!!! We couldn't have done it with out all of you. Lee
