The Minnesota Vikings are doing their part to help the thousands of Minnesota residents affected by this summer's disastrous flooding by joining the "Text 2 Give" campaign.

Vikings fans, and anyone else for that matter, can text "FLOOD12" to 20222 to donate $5 to the Twin Ports Region Long-Term Flood Relief Fund, which was set up last June to aid the victims. In addition to joining the text campaign, the Vikings also plan to donate $10,000 of their own as part of a short ceremony set to take place during their game vs. the Buffalo Bills on Friday. The mayors of the affected communities will join owners Zygi and Mark Wilf during the presentation.
