Igniting Hope
JC Fire Relief Fund
Sept 2024
In just a few short days, the House Draw Fire upended the livelihoods of many local ranchers and landowners. They lost pastures, fences, livestock, and wildlife. They are now faced with the daunting task of recovery after this massive wildfire. The immense scale of the affected area makes those efforts very challenging.
Johnson County has long been characterized by how neighbors look after neighbors, so it was no surprise that a secure fund has sprung up to provide support for those in need; The Johnson County Fire Relief Fund, a safe and tax-efficient fund to gather and distribute donations.
Many emergency aid resources are available, but they frequently come with a bewildering amount of red tape, and multiple exemptions and rarely cover the entire overhead. Johnson County Fire Relief Fund has close ties to those affected, understands their unique needs, and aims to bridge the gaps wherever possible.
Find out more about the challenges with Meg Scales, one of the fund’s co-founders, why the fund is needed, and who it will support.
Those impacted are our neighbors, and our entire community is likely to experience in some way or other consequences from this enormous burn.
