An organization I volunteer with received another amazing donation from a nonprofit in the community. Two organizations, each with a unique mission, are working side by side to safeguard animals and support our community, and I am proud to highlight this partnership.
In Yavapai County, we’re fortunate to have dedicated organizations that step up for animals in times of need. Two of these — Equine Emergency Evacuation of Yavapai County (EEE) and NOAH (Neglected, Orphaned, Abandoned, Homeless) — have joined forces in ways that make our community safer and stronger.
EEE is an all-volunteer nonprofit group that specializes in large animal evacuation and rescue. When wildfires, floods or emergencies strike, EEE’s trained volunteers step in to safely evacuate horses and other livestock, provide emergency transport and perform technical rescues of animals in life-threatening situations. Their work is challenging, highly specialized, and — remarkably — offered free of charge.
NOAH, meanwhile, is well-known in Prescott for its thrift store, which funds animal welfare organizations across the region. With its great prices, friendly volunteers and community spirit, NOAH has become a trusted supporter of countless animal causes.
The partnership between these two organizations began four years ago, when NOAH made an unsolicited donation to EEE after learning about its work. Since then, NOAH has provided vital funding for specialized technical rescue equipment and, most recently, state-of-the-art emergency radios.
These radios replaced outdated equipment, ensuring that EEE’s volunteers can stay in constant communication during evacuations and rescues. Together with tracking systems that monitor the movement of evacuation rigs, this upgrade significantly improves safety for volunteers and the animals they protect.
IÂ want to personally thank NOAH for such a generous offer and being an exemplary example of what Yavapai County community is about.
