Where to Offer Help or Receive Help in the Wake of the Marshall Fire

04 Jan 2022

The Downtown Boulder website currently has details on large-scale and independent relief efforts to help those affected by the fire. This includes a list of restaurants participating in the Restaurants Revive project by offering hot meals to people who have been displaced by the fire: boulderdowntown.com/boulder-fire-response-resources The information below is a supplemental list of relief efforts. Please note that many places accepting donations are being overwhelmed with items, so the most helpful thing we can do right now is donate to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund.   The Front Range Soup Brigade needs volunteers to cook soup and/or deliver it to people who have been affected by the Marshall Fire. Administrative volunteers and monetary donations are also needed. Please sign up for a soup delivery if you're in need of comfort during this difficult time. facebook.com/groups/1659632527762064 Sill-Terhar Motors in Broomfield has a showroom full of donations: boots, toys, pet supplies, coats, toiletries and so much more available to those affected by the Marshall Fire. It is all organized and sorted. Pick up what you need Mon-Sat during business hours.

Email Erica Schmitt at eschmitt@louisvilleco.gov to get involved in relief efforts. Free Market at Rayback Collective this Thursday for fire survivors.
