With the ongoing efforts of the Oak Ridge Fire, there have been a number of GoFundMe pages purporting to collect funds to help with fire efforts.
Importantly:
• The Navajo Nation or the Incident Command Center has NOT asked for any monetary funds. The government will NOT ask for funds.
• Be cautious of any money requests that are purporting to be on behalf of the Navajo Nation officials/departments
• If you want to help, purchase your items and donate to either of the official evacuation shelters for families. Donations are still being accepted at this time.
(1) The Bee Hotdzil Fighting Scouts Events Center in Fort Defiance or the Ganado Fieldhouse. Information: 505-422-3570 (Note: this is a new phone number)
(2) Ganado Fieldhouse. For information: 928-349-0815.
Let’s support our community the right way — safely and smartly.
Report any suspicious pages to GoFundMe and do not accept any sort of money requests.
-Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren
