As the three horrendous Spokane Complex fires burn out of control, many of us are wondering how we can help the tens of thousands of people being impacted.

According to The Seattle Times, over 700 homes and structures have been destroyed and over 60,000 people were given “Go Now” evacuation alerts. As of Monday morning, The Seattle Times reported the fires as “0% contained.”

Here are a few ways to support those in need:

The city has set up a fund to accept donations through the city of Spokane H.O.M.E. Starts Here Fund.

The Innovia Foundation, a Spokane-based nonprofit, has created the Spokane Complex Wildfire Response Fund.

American Red Cross Northwest Region is accepting donations.

Catholic Charities Eastern Washington has created an emergency Spokane Complex Fire Support fund to help fire victims.

We are all in this climate emergency together. Thanks for doing what you can.
