Press Release:
For Immediate Release:
On Friday , February. 19th 2021 a volunteer cleanup effort will begin in Blue River Oregon, to help those who lost their homes in the Holiday Farm Fire. Community residents and organizers reached out to Cascade Relief Team to help coordinate and maximize the clean up efforts. Many volunteers will be needed to replicate the successful volunteer cleanup efforts that Cascade Relief Team helped start in Otis Orgon.
Volunteers are needed with with heavy equipment and chain saws, as well as boots on the ground for helping bag and sift ash.
Volunteers will be cutting and removing several ton of steel and, many high amounts of green waste that has been burned. Fire waste will be properly bagged for legal disposal. .
The operation will continue through weekend and again on future dates as long as resources are available. Although all labor and most of the meals are being donated, there are out-of-pocket expenses, such as equipment rentals and dumping fees. proper disposal of asbestos positive ash can cost more than one thousand dollars per bin.
In order to support continuation of the cleanup effort beyond this week, we are encouraging the community to get involved whatever way they can, whether that be donation, volunteering or a combination of both.
We will also be continuing our Long term efforts in Otis, Oregon.
Individuals, groups or companies who would like to donate to the continuation of the cleanup effort through Cascade Relief Team, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
