How to help those affected by

Hewlett WildFire

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 to the organization of your choice, dial 2-1-1 (or 866-760-6489) for a list of reputable agencies responding to the disaster

VOLUNTEERING

• DO NOT GO TO THE SCENE OF A DISASTER
• The arrival of unexpected volunteers will interfere with response efforts 
• STAY SAFE by volunteering with a reputable agency! 
• Volunteers will be needed most during the recovery phase. Please be patient and WAIT until relief agencies can train you and use your help
• At this point, volunteers are not needed

MATERIAL DONATIONS

• Listen carefully to public service announcements for a list of needed items
• Donate ONLY those things that are requested by officials and bring them to the official designated collection centers
• Unfortunately, homemade foods can NOT be accepted in support relief efforts
• Items not needed may go to waste and get in the way of relief efforts
• It may take a few days to determine what items are needed and to set-up officially designated collection centers to receive them
• At this point, material donations are not being accepted

To make a financial contribution to the organization of your choice, please dial 2-1-1 (or 866-760-6489) for a list of reputable agencies responding to disasters in Colorado.
