CCCNews has received numerous requests for a verifiable and credible donation fund for fire victims. We are actively researching and will update readers when more information becomes available.
Already, about $44,000 has been donated via GoFundMe campaigns. However, some community members are reluctant to use online platforms due to trust or concerns over administrative fees.
The Dalles Elks have set up a donation center at 2620 W. Second St., next to the former site of Red’s Trading Post. The service organization is accepting donations and inviting people in need to take what they require. The center will be open today, June 16, until 4 p.m., and weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Clothing, shoes, bedding, and some household items are available. While food supplies are limited, residents are encouraged to stop by.
