General Might Be Able to Help
For many parts of the US, 2021 has been filled with disasters.
Wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, landslides, winter storms, and more; hardly
any part of the country has not been affected.
Where homes and businesses have been destroyed, so have public schools and their
libraries, and Dollar General offers grants to help rebuild.
