A huge THANK YOU to Tim Hall with F.C. Tucker/Prosperity for everything he did to help make the Anderson Gaslight Festival a success this past weekend! 👏❤️

From pitching in wherever he was needed to putting in the time and effort behind the scenes (including re-drawing chalk lines after the rain Saturday morning), Tim went above and beyond to help us bring the festival together.

Community events like the Gaslight Festival are only possible because of people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Tim, thank you for showing up for Anderson and helping make this weekend so special! 🎉

We appreciate you!

We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and heart you both gave to our festival and our community. Thank you for always being willing to step up when it matters most!

Mona and Pat, we appreciate you! 👏❤️

Following the tremendous response to Flood Aid for Anderson, work is underway to provide direct support to Anderson residents and local businesses impacted by the recent flooding.

The Flood Aid for Anderson effort is being carried forward collaboratively by Anderson AIMS, the Anderson Gaslight Festival, and the Madison County Community Foundation, with MCCF serving as the charitable steward of the fund.

The fund is not yet open for applications, but the application is expected to be available within the next few days. Once it opens, residents and businesses impacted by the flood will be able to submit a request for assistance. The process will be clearly explained and designed to be easy to follow, and applications will be reviewed to help ensure available funds are distributed fairly and responsibly.

This relief effort came together extraordinarily quickly because our community responded extraordinarily quickly. We are working with that same sense of urgency while also taking the care necessary to steward these community-raised funds well.

Please watch the websites and social media accounts of the Anderson Gaslight Festival, Anderson Indiana Main Street, and Madison County Community Foundation for the announcement that applications are open and for additional details about the assistance process.

If you would still like to contribute to the Flood Aid for Anderson Fund and support ongoing flood recovery efforts, donations can be made at:
