Spokane wildfire help: common questions
Quick answers about finding help, giving, and who this resource is for after the Spokane Area Fires.
Where can I find help after the Spokane fires?
This site lists over 110 vetted local organizations offering food, water, shelter, medical and mental-health care, financial and legal help, cleanup, and rebuilding support. Browse them by need on the Find help page, or call or text 211 to be routed to the right service.
How can I donate to Spokane wildfire relief?
You can give to established local funds, including the Innovia Foundation's Spokane Complex Wildfire Response Fund, the American Red Cross (Greater Inland Northwest), Second Harvest, and Project Beauty Share. All giving options are on the Offer help page.
What should I do first if I lost my home in the fire?
Focus on safety, not solving everything. Find emergency shelter, cover basics like water, food, and medication, and call or text 211 to connect with the right service. The Response phase page walks through the first 24 to 72 hours.
Is this resource only for people who lost their homes?
No. It is for the whole community affected by the fires, including displaced residents, helpers, and anyone carrying the weight of the smoke, fear, and disruption. Guilt, anxiety, and helplessness count too, even if you were spared.
How can my organization offer help?
Businesses and nonprofits with a public identity can list a vetted offer of support on the Offer help page. Individuals can give to a trusted fund or volunteer through one of the listed organizations.
