Early Sunday morning, Valerie Linenberger and her family awoke to water pouring into their basement from flooding caused by the excessively heavy rains that hit parts of northern Saline County.

The floodwaters destroyed the basement and left the owner of True Betty Boutique &amp; Gifts and her family temporarily homeless. To add insult to injury, the insurance company has told the family that their coverage does not include the basement, Lindsay from True Betty Boutique &amp; Gifts told Salina Post. 

Now Linenberger's employees are stepping up to help out the boss they love.

The employees are collecting items, gift cards, and money to help the Linenberger family replace some of what they lost in the flood. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to the store at:

108 N. Santa Fe Salina, KS 67401

Additionally a Jimmy &amp; Valerie Linenberger Flood account has been set up at The Bank of Tescott for people who would prefer to donate in that manner. There is no online link to make donations, however, the bank can accept donations via wire transfers or P2P, Lindsay said.
