Here’s a collection of ways to help Butte County fire victims and others during the north state wildfires.
Ways to help
North Valley Community Foundation in Chico has a Wildfire Relief and Recovery Fund that can help victims of the latest wildfires.
Go to www.nvcf.org/wildfire to donate money or call 530-891-1150.
The American Red Cross is feeding fire evacuees at the Butte County Fairgrounds. Financial contributions are welcome because the Red Cross relies solely on donations to operate.

This information is also available at gosalarmy.org.
