Supporting Boulder County, Colorado
The 2022 Boulder County, Colorado wildfires have affected over 30,000 residents in the community, burning through residential homes and businesses within the region. This tragedy has impacted several KeHE employees as well as the natural food and beverage industry hub that has evolved within the Boulder community.
As members of the Boulder community and the natural food industry hub, we are saddened by the loss and damage these wildfires have caused. In an effort to help the community and serve those in critical need, KeHE has donated to the Marshall Fire Family Relief Fund, which is being coordinated by industry veteran Luke Vernon.
Join Us In Helping the Community
The Marshall Fire Family Relief Fund is providing much-needed financial resources for those struggling to get back on their feet. We encourage anyone looking for ways to help, to consider this fund. 100% of the proceeds are donated to these impacted families.
Other Ways We Are Getting Involved
Assisting By the Case
In an effort to help the community and serve those in critical need, our Aurora, Colorado distribution center – in partnership with members of our supply chain and category management teams – has donated half a truck of bottled water (500+ cases) and half a truck of ready-to-eat food items to Community Food Share, the primary intake for more than 40 local partner organizations supporting those affected by the fires.
Helping Through KeHE Cares®
The KeHE Cares® Foundation is supporting relief efforts through Serve 6.8, a longtime trusted disaster relief partner of one of our close KeHE Cares® partners Eight Days of Hope. The funding will be used to immediately assist families who have been displaced by the fires with rental housing assistance, home goods and other furnishings not covered by insurance, and transportation costs for vehicles lost to the fires.
