International humanitarian organisation UNITED SIKHS has offered assistance to the City of Spokane and begun mobilising relief efforts for residents affected by devastating wildfires in Spokane County.
The organisation said the fires have destroyed homes, displaced families and left communities in urgent need of assistance.
In a letter to Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown, UNITED SIKHS expressed concern for affected families and offered to provide immediate humanitarian support. The organisation, which is affiliated with the United Nations, has previously undertaken disaster-relief operations in the United States, including serving thousands of hot meals during the Los Angeles wildfires and conducting relief efforts following hurricanes in Texas, Florida and North Carolina.
As part of its response, UNITED SIKHS is coordinating a Spokane Fire Relief Drive and appealing to individuals and organisations to contribute through monetary donations and essential supplies.
The relief drive is seeking non-perishable food, blankets, bedding and other basic necessities.
Donations can be dropped off at Gurdwara Sacha Marag Sahib, 12431 SE 286th Pl, Auburn, Washington 98092, United States.
For donations and further information, supporters can contact Balwant Singh at +1 206-261-7099, Tanvir Singh at +1 206-788-5906, Harchhinder Sandhu at +1 263-335-5666 or Amandeep Ghag at +1 206-251-6884. The organisation’s toll-free number is +1-855-US-UMEED.
Supporters can also contribute through the QR code featured on UNITED SIKHS’ relief flyer and social media posts.
“As fires continue to devastate Spokane, our mission is to serve humanity with compassion, dignity, and selfless service,” said Balwant Singh, Director of UNITED SIKHS. “We are ready to work alongside the City of Spokane, the Fire Department, and community partners to bring meaningful relief to those impacted.”
The organisation appealed to individuals, community groups and faith organisations to come forward and support families affected by the wildfires.
