How to Help those Affected by
the FourMile canyon Fire in boulder county

Financial GIFTS are THE Best Way to Help!

FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO VOLUNTARY AGENCIES RESPONDING TO DISASTERS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP! Cash allows disaster agencies to purchase exactly what is needed. To make a financial gift call 2-1-1

If you are an agency responding to this event, please click here.

VOLUNTEER

DO NOT GO TO THE SCENE OF A DISASTER!

The arrival of unexpected volunteers will interfere with response efforts. Stay safe by staying out of the way!

Volunteers are most needed in the recovery phase. Please be patient and WAIT until relief agencies are ready to use your help.

If you want to volunteer, call 2-1-1.

MATERIAL DONATIONS

DO NOT DONATE ITEMS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IS NEEDED!

DO NOT donate used clothing or used household items. These items will likely go to waste and get in the way.

Bulk/palletized donations, requested by relief agencies, are best.

If you want to make a donation, call 2-1-1.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP

Hold a yard sale, put on a fund-raising event, and donate money raised to a voluntary organization.

Have you already collected goods but can’t find an agency that needs them? Donate items to a local charitable agency.
