Wildfire Relief in Northeast Minnesota | Duluth News

Wildfires in Northeast Minnesota are sparking a powerful local response, with the United Way leading a coordinated effort alongside St. Louis County, Ely Community Response, and the Red Cross to deliver fast, targeted aid—especially in hard-hit areas like Ely. Right now, cash donations are the most urgent need, as funds go directly into the Crisis and Disaster Recovery Fund to support firefighters, emergency crews, and community health, with every dollar staying local. Over $14,000 has already been raised—including a major $10,000 gift from Twin Metal Minnesota—and can also help displaced residents. Drawing on past disaster experience, the United Way’s local flexibility ensures resources adapt quickly to evolving needs. For those who’ve lost personal belongings, their “Comforts of Home” program offers immediate relief through referrals. If you want to help, give what you can—financial support moves the needle fastest. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
