Urgent Support Needed for Ranchers Affected by Oklahoma & Kansas Wildfires

Devastating wildfires, fueled by winds of 65–70 mph, have swept across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, leaving ranchers facing tremendous loss. Pastures have been burned, fences destroyed, and livestock lost. With calving season already underway, the need for immediate assistance is urgent.

FCFI is coordinating relief efforts to help these families rebuild and recover. Your support can make a tangible difference. We have teamed up with Farm Rescue, which has access to trucks for hauling. This makes your donation dollars more efficient since we will cover fuel only instead of the full cost of hauling the hay.

Immediate Needs:

• Hay – round and square bales
• Truckers to move the hay
• Fencing materials – barbed wire, posts, panels
• Funds – for trucking and fuel
• Volunteer teams and coordinators – to rebuild fences and clear debris
• Volunteers to make phone calls::

As the Bible reminds us: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

Ranch families are resilient, but they should not face this crisis alone. Together, we can provide relief, hope, and practical support during this critical time.
