Volunteers Needed: Community Cleanup Effort Organized to Help Fremont Recover After Flooding

FREMONT – After days of rising water and difficult conditions across the Village, Town of Fremont, and the Town of Wolf River, a community-wide cleanup effort is now being organized to help residents begin the recovery process.

This volunteer-led effort will take place on Saturday, starting at 9:00 AM, with a central check-in location at the Town of Fremont Hall. From there, volunteers will be grouped into teams and sent out across the community to assist residents where help is needed most, with a focus on the immediate needs left behind by the floodwaters.

Volunteers will assist with sandbag removal, clearing debris, cleaning out flooded homes and yards, and helping residents move damaged belongings. For many homeowners, especially those in low-lying areas near the Wolf River, this will be one of the first major steps toward getting back to normal.

Organizers say the response from the community has already been strong, with residents stepping up to offer their time, equipment, and support. Those who are able to help are encouraged to bring useful items such as trucks, trailers, gloves, boots, rakes, brooms, cleaning supplies, and other tools. Some protective gear, including rubber gloves and masks, will also be available on site.

Safety remains a top priority. Flood-affected areas may still contain contaminated water, hidden debris, sharp objects, and unstable surfaces. Volunteers are asked to come prepared, stay aware of their surroundings, and follow team guidance throughout the day.

Organizers note that this is a community-led effort, and while every attempt will be made to help as many people as possible, response times may vary depending on need and conditions.

As Fremont begins to recover, this effort highlights what many have already seen throughout the past several days, neighbors stepping up for neighbors, and a community coming together when it matters most.
