North Stafford, Va. — An area church has created a fund to help landslide victims in Stafford’s Austin Ridge neighborhood.

Ebenezer United Methodist Church in Stafford County set up a website that provides information where to make tax-deductible donations either online or by check. All of the funds collected will go to help offset repair and other costs incurred by families who were evacuated from their homes following the landslide.

The landslide occurred Sept. 10 after rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee soaked the area and brought flooding to parts of the Potomac Communities.

Two families were evacuated from their homes after the landslide, fire officials said.
