2020 Canyon Wildfire Relief Kitchen

 

 

On September 7th, 2020, the Beachie Creek Wildfire swept through much of the Santiam Canyon. The towns of Detroit and Gates, the Little North Fork area, and most of the surrounding areas of the canyon were devastated by fire. The entire area was evacuated and access roads to the area were closed by the devastation. The back road to Gates was opened on September 20th and the next day the Silverton Lions Club and Silverton Elks Lodge mobilized their emergency relief kitchen at the Gates Community Church. The kitchen served 3 meals a day for two full months to anyone in need until it's final day on November 21st, 2020.
