The YMCA of Pueblo continues to support individuals and families affected by the Aspen Acres Fire. Our facility remains open as a free respite center for those who have been evacuated or displaced.
Guests are welcome to use our showers, restrooms, drinking water, air-conditioned spaces, Wi-Fi, and device-charging stations. Family-friendly activities and comfortable spaces to rest are also available. Parents and guardians must remain with their children. Please bring proof of evacuation or displacement.

We are also collecting school supplies for students in the Rye and Greenhorn Valley communities. Pueblo County School District 70 shared that approximately 25% of the area’s 561 students were significantly affected by the fire.
Most-needed items include:
- New backpacks
- Pencil bags or pencil boxes
- Folders and notebook paper
- Crayons, pencils and glue sticks
- Boxes of tissues
- Clorox disinfecting wipes
- New youth-sized hoodies and sweatshirts
Donations may be dropped off at the YMCA of Pueblo Front Desk during regular operating hours.
