Response to Storm Damage in Beltrami County
Our hearts are with all those affected by the June 21 storm that impacted Bemidji and Beltrami County. We know many experienced loss, damage or displacement, but we also know the Bemidji community is resilient and will rebound from this damage and come back even stronger than before.
We wanted to take a moment to inform you how we’re responding to the needs of the Bemidji community and our area members during these tough times.
Affinity Plus Response:
- On June 23, we reached out to roughly 8,500 area members who were in the path of the storm to discuss relief and options for additional support.
- We’re also in contact with our 70+ local employees and offered them additional paid time off to tend to their homes or to volunteer with local recovery efforts.
- And collectively, Affinity Plus and the Affinity Plus Foundation are donating $25,000 to the United Way of Bemidji Area toward their disaster recovery efforts.
