Northwest Indiana Relief Fund

On Thursday, June 11, severe storms and multiple tornadoes struck communities across Northwest Indiana.

The National Weather Service has reported notable damage in and near Merrillville and Hebron, with damage surveys continuing as the full scale of the storm becomes clear.

Veterans Against Diabetes is launching Operation After the Storm to help support verified local relief needs.

Our commitment to transparency

100% of donations received by Veterans Against Diabetes through this campaign will be restricted to verified local storm-relief support.

No donations from this campaign will be used for VAD operating expenses.

Funds may be used for:

Documented emergency-supply purchases
Support for approved local relief partners and response teams
Verified local recovery needs as they are identified

Veterans Against Diabetes will publish accountability updates showing how community support was deployed.

We will not rush money out blindly. We will identify legitimate needs, document each deployment, and report back to the community.

When our neighbors get hit, we do not stand on the sidelines.

We answer the call.

Veterans Against Diabetes
Community-Funded. Veteran-Led. Mission-Driven.
