Donate for Wildfire Recovery in Vermont

Wildfires have caused devastating damage across Vermont, displacing thousands of families and leaving communities in urgent need of support. As we respond to these challenges, it's essential to focus not just on immediate relief but on long-term recovery efforts that empower families to rebuild their lives. Green Wheels is dedicated to facilitating this journey by offering transportation assistance, logistical support, and filling the gaps left by federal aid.

This page outlines how your contributions can help those affected by wildfires, from transportation for displaced residents to logistical support for rebuilding efforts. Together, we can reclaim our communities and restore hope for those who have lost so much.

The impact of these wildfires extends beyond immediate needs; it affects local businesses, schools, and the overall community infrastructure. A coordinated, long-term recovery approach is essential for helping these families rebuild their lives and restore the heart of our communities.
