We are saddened by the devastation the wildfires caused in our fellow Colorado communities last week. If you are looking to help those impacted by the Boulder County wildfires, here are a few ideas for how you can provide assistance.
- Boulder Office of Emergency Management - If you have shelter to offer displaced residents, please sign up to be a vetted host at Airbnb.com and you will be alerted through the Airbnb Open Homes Program if needed and encouraging household items be donated to local thrift stores.
- Community Foundation, Boulder County - accepting monetary donations.
- YMCA of Northern Colorado, accepting donations (blankets, pillows, dog & cat food) at their location: 2800 Dagny Way, Lafayette, CO 80026.
Please follow their updates for what supplies are needed. - Volunteers must sign up, please don't just show up. For information and details on volunteering sign up for the Colorado Responds E-newsletter.
