When Disaster Strikes, Compassion Must Move Quickly

On August 20, 2026, severe rainfall triggered flash flooding across Columbus and surrounding Central Ohio communities following several days of persistent, heavy rain. Overnight thunderstorms brought another round of intense precipitation, overwhelming drainage systems, raising river and creek levels, and causing widespread flooding of streets and roadways.

Multiple communities across Central Ohio were affected, with significant impacts reported in Columbus, Franklin County, Licking County, and surrounding areas. Many families—particularly those living in low-lying areas, mobile homes, basements, and resource-limited communities—are facing immediate and potentially ongoing humanitarian needs.
