In response to the Snyder Fire, United Way of Mesa County activated the Snyder Fire Support Fund. United Way said in a news release that many people have been displaced and require essential supplies, so it is collaborating with local and state government and nonprofit partners to provide immediate relief to those who have been affected.

“In moments like these, we are reminded that the strength of our community is measured by how we show up for one another,” said Cassidy Lujan, executive director of United Way of Mesa County. “The Snyder Fire Support Fund gives every member of our community an opportunity to stand alongside those who need us most. Together, we can help ensure our neighbors have the support they need.”
