The first Distribution Day Event was held in September, 2021.  The survivors of the Caldor Fire knew on that day that the community was there to help support them during their long journey to rebuild their lives and their homes.  West Slope Foundation held a total of 22 Distribution Day Events since the first one with the generous help of businesses and organizations in our community, meeting many of the immediate and long term needs of the individuals and families who needed the most help. 

The last Caldor Fire Distribution Day Event was on June 11, 2023.  There were 30 families who participated, compared to the 250 families at the first distribution.  This tells us many of the people we have gotten to know over the past 21 months are starting to get back on their feet which is what we have all being working towards.

West Slope Foundation will continue to provide assistance to those who still need help through our Individual Needs and Home Again Programs.  We promised the survivors of the Caldor Fire that we would be there for them and that is a promise we continue to keep.

Should there be other disasters in our community the Distribution Day Events will be brought back to help those affected on the tough journey ahead of them.
