Emergency Relief
Status: High Level Priority
On December 30th, 2021 an explosive, wind-driven fire spread across Boulder County, Colorado. Over 35,000 people were evacuated, almost 1,000 homes have been destroyed, and hundreds of businesses are in ashes due to the Marshall Fire — the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history. Many who have been evacuated will not have a home to return to once the fire is out and the dust has settled.
FEC United, in partnership with churches, nonprofit organizations, and community members will work to support the needs of the community as they emerge, no matter an individual’s vaccination status or political affiliation.
Thank you for supporting those facing hardship during this difficult time. Your support is greatly appreciated
*If you are an evacuee, please go to the Get Help page.
