Family and Friends,
The past few days have been some of the most tragic and challenging times our region has faced. Nonetheless, you, our community, have shown compassion, understanding, and courage amidst the loss and hardship. These are things that cannot be taken from us, and these are things that will allow us to move forward in hope, confident that there are better days ahead.
We have received inquiries from many of our community members regarding the impact of the storm on the homes of SFR firefighters. Regrettably, some of our firefighters have experienced the loss of their homes or have found them to be uninhabitable due to landslides and flooding. Although our firefighter’s concern remains focused on our citizens, out of appreciation for those wishing to help and for the sake of security, we have opened a secure way to give to these SFR Firefighters that will ensure all proceeds go directly to our affected personnel to help repair and rebuild their homes.
