The Shelter Fund was established to assist members of the community who have experienced hardship due to unforeseen disasters such as fire or flooding. Intended to help those who suddenly find themselves without shelter, funds are generally granted for specific cases of need, and recipients are identified at the discretion of the CFLC Board of Directors on a year-round basis.

****** UPDATE ON SOUTH FORK AND SALT FIRE ASSISTANCE ********

 

We are honored to have assisted over 1,100 families impacted by the devastating South Fork/Salt fires and flooding. Our mission is to provide essential aid during challenging times, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our donors and the resilience shown by our community.

 

Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand, funds are depleted, and support is transitioning to a long-term focus. As a result, the Shelter Fund is no longer able to accept new applications for the South Fork & Salt Fires.  

 

We thank our generous donors that have funded grants and our mission to serve Lincoln County in the aftermath of this summer’s natural disasters. Your understanding and continued support is appreciated as we work together to rebuild our community. For those still seeking assistance, we encourage you to explore other local and regional resources.

 

ACTUALIZACIÓN SOBRE SOUTH FORK Y LA ASISTENCIA EN CASO DE INCENDIO SALADO ********

 

Nos sentimos honrados de haber ayudado a más de 1,100 familias afectadas por los devastadores incendios e inundaciones de South Fork/Salt. Nuestra misión es brindar ayuda esencial en tiempos difíciles, y estamos increíblemente agradecidos por el apoyo de nuestros donantes y la resiliencia mostrada por nuestra comunidad.

 

Desafortunadamente, debido a la abrumadora demanda, los fondos se agotan y el apoyo está pasando a un enfoque a largo plazo. Como resultado, el Fondo de Refugio ya no puede aceptar nuevas solicitudes para los incendios de South Fork y Salt.  

 

Agradecemos a nuestros generosos donantes que han financiado subvenciones y nuestra misión de servir al condado de Lincoln después de los desastres naturales de este verano.   Agradecemos su comprensión y apoyo continuo mientras trabajamos juntos para reconstruir nuestra comunidad. Para aquellos que aún buscan ayuda, les animamos a explorar otros recursos locales y regionales.
