The Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation and our 40 local business fundraising partners implemented relief efforts immediately after the impacts of the Camp Fire were known. We opened funds to collect donations from all over the country to help in short and long-term relief efforts. To date contributions have totaled over $2.5 million with more coming daily.
