Last spring the Anderson Creek fire tore across Northwest Oklahoma and the devastation was vast but relief is underway thanks to many generous donations.
"When unfortunate situations happen, it is humbling to see how generous folks can be," said Jeff Jaronek, Coordinator of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Foundation. "People were looking for a place to send money to help the ranchers affected by the fire. It was only natural for the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Foundation to establish a relief fund."
According to Jaronek, donations poured in from all over the U.S. "We were able to help 18 ranchers thanks to the overwhelming generosity of individuals and companies from across the country including 22 different states," Jaronek said.
Donations came in all sizes, but there are a few groups and companies who made significant donations. These include: Shawnee Tribe Historic Preservation, Global Gaming Solutions, LLC, Stillwater Milling Company, Merck Animal Health, ADM, GoBob Pipe and Steel and Oklahoma Steel and Wire.
"A group of industry leaders from the area came together to evaluate applications and distribute funds based off of individual needs," Jaronek said. "Thank you to the tremendous support and compassion from others, the recovery process is underway."
