This is a message from the City of Crown Point regarding our fundraising and collection efforts for Hurricane Harvey relief.
100% of funds and goods collected will be donated to the communities in and around Alvin, Texas. We have chosen to adopt Alvin based on its similar downtown likeness, character and population to Crown Point. Alvin has suffered tremendous damage from the hurricane and is in desperate need of assistance.
Monetary contributions can be made immediately in the following ways:
Cash and check donations can ONLY be made to Crown Point Cares Account (Hurricane Harvey relief) at the Crown Point First Midwest Bank branch located at 1100 N Main St.
Tax Deductible online donations can be made online at CPCares.us, Please identify “CROWN POINT CARES” in the message line accompanying the donation. This step is very important to ensure the donation goes to the correct place.
