The Jacobs family recently experienced a great loss by a sudden prairie fire. The fire started 6 miles from their farm and was fueled by 70+mph wind leaving them little time to do anything besides evacuate. They are safe but had near total loss of all farming equipment, some animals, and all outbuildings except for their house which did sustain damage.

We are asking people to donate what they can to help the Jacobs family as their needs and costs will be ongoing. The money will help the Jacobs family start the process of rebuilding, repairing, and replacing farm equipment, buildings, children's toys, and more personal items they lost so quickly.

There is an account set up with Gate City Bank in Williston accepting donations on behalf of the Jacobs family available as well. Thank you!
