To the First Responders and displaced Residents south of us - Our Doors Are Open
as our community navigates the challenges of the recent fire, our hearts are filled with immense gratitude for the dedicated first responders who are working tirelessly on the front lines to keep us safe. We know that many of you are working around the clock, and some residents have been displaced from your homes.
The Red Pine Cookhouse would like to invite anyone working or affected by the fire to join us for a hot, comforting meal on us. Additionally, if you need a place to refresh, we have a shower available to you. Consider our space your safe harbor to rest, refuel, and take a moment for yourself.
Please spread the word to anyone who might need a hot meal or a place to clean up today. We’ve got your back.
