The Butte Strong Found has committed an additional $1 million in grants, this week, for Camp Fire recovery.

 

According to a press release from the North Valley Community Foundation:

 

$500,000 was granted to the Butte County Fire Safe Council to keep tree removal projects moving before the rainy season hits.

 

$200,000 was provided for caseworker positions because, according to the North Valley Community Foundation, there weren't enough government funded positions to address the need.

 

Adventist Health Feather River received a $49,000 grant to help pay for a facility to allow ambulance service to return to Paradise.

 

Grants were also given to assist recovery centers in the upper ridge area and a meeting space in Concow.
