Eight park employees at Grover Hot Springs SP lost their homes or property in the recent Tamarack Fire and the Ranger Foundation has provided each with $1,000 emergency disaster relief grants.
The Ranger Foundation has provided over $74,000 in emergency grants to eighty-four CA Park Families due to losses from the 2018, 2020 and 2021 CA wildfires. We are requesting your individual donation to keep these grants going.
To help victims of the latest wildfire disaster the Ranger Foundation will offer "instant" grants (up to $1,000) to reimburse park workers (including volunteers, seasonal, and retirees) who have suffered loss due to the current and future wildfires.The Ranger Foundation is making this financial help readily available, with a minimum paperwork. The only thing victims need to do is send an e-mail stating their wildfire related circumstances and copies of receipts for any expenses they have related to their loss.This can be for emergency lodging, replacement uniforms, replacement of personal items lost in the fire (for instance personal mobile phone, clothing, loss of a personal vehicle, etc.) and almost any other direct expense related to their loss.
If you know of a park person who suffered loss due to wildfires, regardless of agency, classification or if retired, please pass this information on to them. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the Ranger Foundation to help those park people affected by the current (and future) wildfire related losses, you may do so online here:
Thanks for your support of park workers affected by these terrible wildfires .
