CONCORD - Donations are now being accepted for the New Hampshire Disaster Relief Fund. Donations will be used to help New Hampshire residents displaced by last week’s tornado.

"We are hopeful New Hampshire will qualify for FEMA assistance. But even if we do qualify for aid, it likely won't be enough for some of the hardest-hit families,” Gov. Lynch said. "I am encouraging our citizens to consider contributing to the State of New Hampshire Disaster Relief Fund, which will help families displaced by the tornado."

Donations, which are 100% tax deductible, may be made on line at www.nh.gov or by sending a check made out to:
