When families were affected by the Jones Fire, Project SALT responded the way Wickenburg neighbors often do — by showing up, organizing support, and helping turn generosity into real relief.
After donations came in from community members, local businesses, churches, and generous neighbors, Project SALT helped transport, store, sort, and prepare clothing, household goods, and essential items for families displaced or impacted by the fire.
The organization was granted temporary use of The Little Red Schoolhouse, where volunteers helped create an organized, almost retail-style environment. The goal was simple: make it easier, more respectful, and more dignified for fire victims to find the items they needed.
This kind of response reflects the heart of Project SALT’s mission.
Led by Board President Chris Strale, with the support and dedication of his wife, Traci Strale, Project SALT continues to serve Wickenburg-area families, individuals, and neighbors through food, clothing, household support, hydration, emergency relief, and practical care.
Each month, Project SALT provides approximately 250 sack lunches, helps with around 600 clothing visits, and serves between 300 and 400 families throughout Wickenburg and the surrounding communities.
The Jones Fire relief effort was another reminder that Project SALT is more than a food pantry. It is a faith-based, community-wide support network ready to help when neighbors are facing hardship, displacement, or crisis.
From collecting donations to sorting supplies and preparing a welcoming space, Project SALT and its volunteers helped make sure support reached people at the right time and in the right way.
Many hands. Big hearts. Stronger together.
