Heartfelt Thanks…

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared resources, or stepped forward with support for those impacted by the Pack Fire. Your generosity has already helped raise just over $58,000 through the Mammoth Community Foundation (MCF), which is operated by the Mammoth Lakes Chamber — including the Foundation’s own $10,000 contribution — and the more we raise, the more support we can provide.

If you’ve already donated, please help us keep the momentum going by passing along the MCF Pack Fire Relief webpage. The web page serves as a central resource hub for those affected. It contains information on lodging and meal support, emergency dental assistance, and more. >>> Click here for informationYou’ll also find details on fundraising efforts – see article in Members News below.

If you’re a business wishing to offer support or services, please email us so we can add your information to the growing list.

The donation fund remains open through Thanksgiving, after which all funds will be distributed directly to individuals and families affected by the fire. >>> Click here to donate
