HAYS, Kan. -- Anyone wishing to help Fort Hays State University students whose families are being affected by the wildfire that has swept areas of northern Oklahoma and south central Kansas have a couple of different options.

The FHSU Foundation has a student emergency assistance fund in place for instances such as this.

Monetary donations are the fastest and most effective way to help, rather than material items that must be transported.

The American Red Cross out of Wichita is coordinating a general wildfire relief fund, and donations may be made at www.redcross.org.
