The Salida City Council voted unanimously to challenge the larger Chaffee County community to fund the Emergency Response Fund at the Chaffee County Community Foundation. 

This challenge grant would match, dollar-for-dollar, any charitable donation from the community up to $25,000.  The City Council asked all local and county governments to join in this challenge.

The Salida School District was quick to jump on board, voting in a special meeting to donate $20,000 to the Emergency Response Fund.

The challenge is anticipated to raise more than $100,000 for assistance to our workforce.  It is intended to provide temporary relief to individuals and families impacted by the COVID-19 pamdemic and the recent impacts to Chaffee County.        

Visit chaffeecommunity.org to donate.
