Creede Colorado SAR Command Center
Want to join me in making a difference? I'm sponsoring a fund raiser for the Friends of Mineral County Emergency Services (FOMCES a 501c3 Corp) to help build a Command Center for Search and Rescue. Donation are deductible and any donation will help make an impact.
Mineral County has the second smallest number of residents of any Country in Colo. Seven hundred and twelve people live in the county. Creede is the only town in Mineral County and is the County Seat. Mineral county is very mountainous with 95% public lands. The Search and Rescue (they are all volunteers) need a new Comand Center to operate out of. The facility will have a room for the Command Center, a room for training, a Contaminant Shower, a Hygiene Shower, EOC Command room, Radio dispatch and space to house all of their vehicles and equipment, plus a fire truck to shorten response time for residences in the county. SAR has the land, with utilities, on the North side of the Airport to build on. They now share office space with the Sheriff Department and there equipment is scattered ever where . When you get lost or injured in the Mineral County Mountains these Volunteers will find you and rescue you, possibly saving you life. These Volunteers are very dedicated (some have volunteered over 30 years to help people) and preform a very important function in Mineral County. They need our support for this building project.
The University of Colorado Denver's Colorado Center for Community Development has done a proforma on this project. I have a copy if anyone would like to see it.
GoFundMe is a 501c3 funding process that is a numbers game. Its about hundreds of people giving small amounts. Larger amounts are great but not necessary. It is a successful way to raise money thru the social media. Average donations seem to be around $50.00. Please make a donation, what ever size and then share this site with your friends and your social media venues. This sharing is very important and encourage your friends to share. Thanks in advance for your contribution and support for these wonderful and dedicate volunteers.
We would also love to hear any experience you or a loved one may have had with volunteer First Responders.
Thanks in advance for your support
