Eastern Kentucky Flooding: How You Can Help

KENTUCKY — A Kentucky flooding relief fund set up by Gov. Andy Beshear has already raised more than $684,000, the governor announced in an update Saturday afternoon.

The death toll has risen to 25 from the flooding that has affected a dozen counties in eastern Kentucky this week, and that number is expected to rise, according to Beshear.

More than 5,600 people have donated to the Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund so far.

Donations can be given by credit card or electronic check on the fund's website.

The fund also is accepting checks, which should be made out to "Kentucky State Treasurer" and include "Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund" on the memo line, according to the website. Checks should be mailed to:

Public Protection Cabinet, 500 Mero Street, 218 NC, Frankfort, KY 40601
