Anyone seeking relief services in Jeff Davis County due to the fire crisis should contact the County Judge’s office at 432-426-3968. Requests will be matched to various agencies.
Right now, the best way to help those devastated by the wildfires is sending donations via the Permian Basin Area Foundation Emergency Relief Fund and to the bank account set up by the Jeff Davis County Relief Fund. We are told that both funds feed the same source.
