Your help has enabled our organization to rapidly put together a regional response to the fires that we expect to only compound the impacts of the virus. You can see our call to action below. We are coordinating with folks in the Kalamath tribal communities and other mutual aid groups in the Eugene area. We are also working on coordinating emergency housing for refugees. Please consider supporitng in whatever way possible if you have the ability! Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook for more timely updates on our works.
