Barkemeyer Family Lost Everything in Fire

Help a Small-Town Family Rebuild After a Devastating House Fire

Earlier this evening a devastating fire tore through the Barkermeyer's home in Kodiak, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely—but their house, belongings, and memories are gone.

The Family has lived in our small town for the past few years. They’ve been the kind of neighbors who show up when others are in need—whether that’s lending a hand, volunteering, or just sharing a kind word. Now it’s our turn to be there for them.

Funds raised will go directly to helping them get back on their feet: finding temporary housing, replacing essentials, clothing for the kids, and starting the long road to rebuilding their lives.

No donation is too small. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this page with your community.

Let’s show the Barkemeyer Family that they’re not alone. Thank you for standing with them during this heartbreaking time.

There is a donation drop box located in Ardingers and outside of Ardingers after hours.
