*MEDIA ADVISORY: #BridgerHelp Neighbors in Need: Relief and Support Day*

In hopes of addressing the various needs of those directly impacted 
by the Bridger Foothills Fire, the Southwest Montana COAD (Community 
Organizations Active in Disaster), in coordination with the Gallatin 
County Sheriff’s Office, Gallatin County Emergency Management and the 
Custer Gallatin National Forest, is hosting an in-person event, 
providing a one-stop location where people impacted by the fire can meet 
directly with representatives of organizations who are ready to help 
with recovery. Those offering services will have tables set up with 
information and resources for those in need.

Organizers are very aware of the precautions they need to take to avoid 
the spread of COVID. All those present will be required to wear an 
appropriate mask. Every opportunity to maintain social distance will be 
taken advantage of. Cleaning and sanitizing products will be present and 
used excessively. Additionally, a variety of PPE will be made available 
to everyone. Organizers are working closely with 
the Gallatin City-County Health Department to ensure this is a safe 
venue for all.

Please note that this event is not a place for donations to be dropped 
off. This is strictly an event for those who have been impacted. Please 
see below for options for providing donations to those impacted.

If you are an organization who is interested in hosting a table at this 
event, please contact Kevin Larsen with Gallatin County Emergency 
Management at 406-548-0117 or kevin at readygallatin.com
