Sheds of Hope to help wildfire victims rebuild – KEZI TV

EUGENE, Ore. After the Holiday Farm Fire devastated communities in Western Oregon, a local group has come together to help victims take steps toward rebuilding literally.

One Hope Lane County has gathered together with other local churches, businesses and organizations to build sheds to be placed on properties of people who lost their homes in the wildfire.

The aim of the project, Sheds of Hope, is that anyone who is trying to start rebuilding on their property would be able to store tools in the shed. They can also use it as a shelter from the rain if they are working to rebuild over the winter.

Executive Director Steve Buss said they have a short-term goal of building 50 sheds and have completed six so far.

These sheds -- for a group of about five or so, the pre-fab work can get done in about five hours. Then we are partnering with community members in Blue River and Vida to validate homeowners who lost their home in the fire, and then we can connect them with one of those homeowners to go ahead and install the shed on their property, Buss said.
