SCAMMERS!!!
Beware of scams and phone calls to donate to firefighters! They are NOT legitimate. Two local residents (one on the FD) received phone calls to solicit a financial donation to the local Fire Department. This is a scam. All funds being raised for our community are being channeled through only the channels that have been communicated.
People who want to make financial donations to help Hoback Ranches residents who lost their homes can donate through GoFundMe. There are three ways to give:
1. https://www.gofundme.com/roosevelt-fire-disaster-recovery?member=828422
- There is a 2.9% + $0.30 service fee involved through this.
2. The funds will go in the same account if donated here at the Lions Club link and however there IS a small service fee: https://www.lionsofwyomingfoundation.org/donate.html and select the donate button for the Roosevelt Fire.
We are trying to find someone to match/donate the equivalent of all fees.
3. Checks are the only way to avoid any processing fee. If people are comfortable they are welcome to mail checks directly to:
"Lions of Wyoming Foundation" with a memo stating "Roosevelt Fire" and mail to Bondurant Community Club, PO Box 71, Bondurant, WY 82922 or:
Lions of Wyoming Foundation
224 TALON CT.
CHEYENNE, WY 82009
Tax deduction donation letters will come from the Lions of Wyoming Foundation.
