Mods can you sticky this at the top
There is a need for volunteers to help with the Hayman Fire. They are needing volunteers at both command posts, in Lake George and Castle Rock. They are expecting to have around 1800 firefighters to feed this weekend, and need help with meals, taking care of evacuated animals, answering phones, and probably a lot of other things. They are in need of bottled water, Gatorade, lip balm, eye drops, sun block, powerbars, and heavy gloves. We have volunteers coming in from all over the country to help with a fire in our state, so those of us that live here, especially those of us that have used these forests, parks, trails, etc. should try and do what we can to help as well. Even if it's only for an afternoon or evening.
A worker yesterday in Castle Rock said they were needing more help with phones and serving meals especially. She also said they were having a hard time getting people that would take the late night and early morning shifts. Most of the shifts are only 3 or 4 hours.
There is a Volunteer Center in Littleton, on the corner of Colorado Blvd and Arapahoe Road that takes short applications and assigns people to areas. Their number is 303-779-9662. They are also a donation center for dropping off needed items. The number to the Salvation Army in Castle Rock for volunteering there is 303-866-9280. They can set you up in either Castle Rock or Sedalia. The number to the Salvation Army in Colorado Springs for volunteering there or probably in the Lake George area is 719-636-3891.
If you could forward this to others you know that might be able to volunteer, especially those that hike, bike, and camp, that would be great! Thanks!!!
