People in southeast Wisconsin help their own.  Even though the broadcast portion of "How Can I Help" has concluded and the listeners of Newsradio 620 WTMJ, 94.5 KTI and Today's TMJ4 viewers raised more than $100,000, flood victims' needs are so much greater than that.

Today is your chance to help your neighbors who have been affected by flooding.

You can donate by Clicking Here to the Salvation Army web site, and they will continue to provide help to people here in Southern Wisconsin.   

NOTE FOR ONLINE DONORS: If you want your donation to go to victims in Wisconsin, you must specify that in the "specific use" comment section.
