As the fires continue to devastate Northern California, Redwood Credit Union has again set up the 2020 Fire Relief Fund. One hundred percent of tax-deductible donations will be distributed directly to fire survivors—beginning with those who lost their primary residence in Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and Lake counties—and through nonprofit organizations. There will be no overhead costs from RCUCF. As additional funds become available, RCUCF will provide support to those who experienced increased expenses due to the recent evacuations.
Here's how to donate:
- Online: Use our secure Donation page to make your tax-deductible donation.
- Mail: Please make checks payable to Redwood Credit Union Community Fund. Include “2020 Fire Relief Fund” in the memo area, along with the county (Lake, Marin, Napa, Sonoma) you’d like to support. Mail to: P.O. Box 6104, Santa Rosa, CA 95406
