The Marshall fire is officially the most destructive in Colorado history in terms of the number of homes destroyed. Over 1000 homes were lost across Boulder County, causing so much stress for so many families. Ridwell will be helping to collect specific items that our partner Broomfield FISH has told us are still needed and will make the most impact in supporting fire victims.
Broomfield FISH is a nonprofit organization that provides food, emergency financial assistance, and one-on-one mentoring support to local residents in need. They are currently collecting certain hygiene and non-perishable food items to help those displaced by the Marshal and Middle Fork fires.
