As everyone knows, San Mateo County is experiencing devastating damage from the CZU Lightning Complex wildfires. This is an appeal for donations to support two efforts to help with the challenges:
San Mateo County Large Animal Evacuation Group (SMC LAEG)
SMC LAEG is an all-volunteer group that activates when called upon by the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Services or other emergency agencies. Its mission is to provide qualified large animal handlers and horse trailers in emergency situations, to evacuate large animals in the face of disaster or emergency, and to lessen the burden on government Emergency Services. SMC LAEG also provides education on disaster preparedness. In the first week of the CZU Lightning Complex fire, they have transported over 1500 animals out of danger to safety.
While they currently do not have an ability to accept tax deductible donations, The Mounted Patrol Foundation as a 501(c)(3) organization can and will accept donations on their behalf. In fact, they will add their support of this effort by matching contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000! Donations are tax-deductible to the amount permitted by law and may be made via check or PayPal to the Mounted Patrol Foundation.
Checks may be sent to:
Mounted Patrol Foundation ATTN: SMC-LAEG 521 Kings Mountain Road Woodside, CA 94062-4209
Please make a notation on your check that this is for SMC-LAEG
PayPal available here
