Long-Term Recovery
After the September 7, 2022 Babb Road fire, the residents of Malden and Pine City seized the opportunity to build back a stronger and more resilient Pine Creek Community. The Pine Creek Community Restoration Long Term Recovery Organization (PCCRLTRO) was formed to support that vision. We thank our many individual, organizational, and governmental partners who have joined us to ensure our long term recovery.
The PCCRLTRO is a state and federally recognized 501(c)3 not for profit organization. We work for and with residents to meet their recovery goals. Generous donations from individuals throughout the U.S. have enabled us to assist with resident rebuilding needs. We also work with the towns to revitalize the Pine Creek Community spirit.
The PCCRLTRO invites you to learn more about us, and to visit our gallery of historical and current recovery photos. You can access information on local, state, and federal resources here. To assist us in fulfilling our mission, we welcome your gifts of time and service, or a tax deductible donation.
