A devastating fire tore through beloved businesses in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City, destroying historic buildings and leaving more than 200 employees suddenly without their workplaces and livelihoods.

Thanks to the quick, brave response of the Salt Lake City Fire and Police Departments, every customer and employee made it out safely. But the loss to our community is profound—these 1920s buildings were more than brick and mortar; they were home to gathering places, local flavor, and the connections that make Downtown vibrant.

Now, our neighbors need us.

The Downtown Alliance is working closely with business owners, city leaders, and community partners to support the employees who have been displaced by this tragedy. Many are facing immediate financial hardships while their workplaces are shut down.

100% of your donation will go directly to helping these employees cover essential expenses—rent, groceries, transportation—during this difficult time.

Every gift matters. Every act of generosity brings us closer to restoration.
