In the past 48 hours, Colorado communities have experienced flooding that has resulted in thousands of evacuations, power outages and infrastructure damage, including roads and drainage systems. Many mountain towns have been evacuated or are isolated, inaccessible by road, and without power. Mudslides of up to 400 feet in Boulder County have made roads impassable and a broken dam in Larimer County has washed away some homes. It is reported that three people have lost their lives, and at least one person is missing.

“Our prayers continue to be with families and communities affected by the floods. Please join in the efforts to help those affected by donating to the fund. We will ensure that all funds raised will stay in Colorado and will be used in the communities for which they are designated,” said Kristi Kinnison, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain United Methodist Foundation.

The Foundation is asking the public to support all rescue, recovery and relief efforts with financial donations.  Funds will be distributed without administrative fees and will serve immediate, intermediate and long-term care needs.
