Destructive fires in several communities across the Big Country this week have burned thousands of acres and destroyed homes and other buildings.
The Community Foundation of Abilene now has two funds to collect donations to support those affected by the fires.
Eastland County Fire Relief Fund
The Community Foundation has partnered with the Eastland Community Foundation to establish the Eastland County Fire Relief Fund. This fund will provide grants to fire departments and grants to nonprofits serving people and businesses affected by ongoing fires in Eastland County.
