2024 is shaping up to be a very active wildfire season. To support area wildfire relief, including the (now contained) Horse Gulch Fire and the Black Mountain Fire the Helena Area Community Foundation, in partnership with TriCounty COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster), is raising funds to support those affected by the fire as well as the organizations who are working/have worked to extinguish the blazes.
Your donations will help provide:
- Emergency shelter and food for displaced families, as needed, and reimbursements for evacuees
- Medical supplies and support for those affected
- Equipment and supplies for firefighters
- Restoration and rebuilding efforts, if required
Please note: Monetary donations are preferred, as they ensure timely and effective assistance. Goods are only helpful when specifically requested. Safeway is coordinating donations food items items, and information about what is needed and where to donated will be shared when that information is available. Thank you for your support of our community members!
**In the event that more funding is received than is needed to address this emergency, donations will be saved in a restricted fund for future community emergencies.
