Our hearts are with everybody affected by these devastating floods. The Indian River Chamber of Commerce has resources available to assist residents with their immediate cleanup needs.
Free Drinking Water
Potable water is available in the township parking lot next to the library via Ramsby Well Drilling. It is recommended that you DO NOT drink well water right now as it is likely contaminated.
Please bring your own container to fill and remember to turn off the spigot. This site is monitored 24/7.
Free Debris Cleanup
Available for immediate pick-up are contractor bags in bundles of 15 along with disposable gloves. Stop by the Chamber, or if you are unable to pick them up, please contact the Chamber and we will work to get them to you.
Free Water Cleanup
A limited number of wet/dry vacs and submersible sump pumps are available to borrow in 24-hour increments. Either stop by the Chamber office if the “Open” sign is on, or call to arrange for pickup.
These resources have been provided to our community thanks to the generosity of the Home Depot of Petoskey and Lowe’s of Petoskey in addition to a few individual donors.
Free Pet Food
The Chamber is offering modest-sized containers of dog food.
Free Toiletries
The Chamber is also offering some personal hygiene products.
Free Phone Charging
If you need a phone charging station, the Chamber offers drop-off and pick-up service.
Shelter & Rest Area
A Red Cross emergency shelter will be available soon with details to follow.
In the meantime, the Glow Community Center is providing a safe, comfortable space to rest or be refreshed during the day. Food or snacks will be available:
