Hocking Hills Fire Employee Fund

Lives change in the flash of a moment. On Thursday, December 8th, 2016, the iconic Hocking Hills Dining Lodge at Hocking Hills State Park in Southeastern Ohio caught fire and burned to the ground. Not only did the historic structure vanish, so did a livelihood for 24 employees and their families. This is a devastating turn of events for all of these people, especially considering the time of year and the economic challenges that this region of Ohio continues to face. Every one of these people worked incredibly hard to serve all who walked through their doors and now they could use our help. As we have seen there is strength in numbers. Your donations, in even the smallest amount, can make the difference in terms of paying their rent or keeping the heat flowing until their jobs are once again ready for them.

On behalf of all us involved in this relief effort, thank you so much for taking the time to read this and helping in any way possible.

If you would prefer to give directly, The Friends of The Hocking Hills State Park (FHHSP), a 501c3 non-profit organization, is collecting donations for these employees and their families. All donations made directly to FHHSP are 100% tax deductible. If you should choose to donate through FHHSP, please send donations to: Friends of The Hocking Hills State Park, P.O. Box 101, Logan, OH 43138. Make checks payable to FHHSP, and please write “HH Dining Lodge Employee Relief Fund” on the memo line of your check. We pledge that EVERY PENNY collected from this relief effort will be distributed to these 24 employees.
