California Fire Relief…

As soon as I have a address/bank account number for Mexican donations (the fires did not stop at the border), I’ll post it here… 

URGENT HELP NEEDED I just received word that requests for supplies for fire victims (especially food, water, & clothing) are growing throughout the county as the amount of donations has dropped off significantly. Hundreds of people who were too afraid or unable to evacuate earlier in the week have now begun to ask for help, as the situation in our rural areas is dire.

At this point, the Chicano Park collection site has almost nothing, and they are receiving calls from Pala, Valley Center, Potrero, and other communities where the “mainstream” relief efforts have been slow or nonexistent.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS FAR & WIDE, and drop off a donation if you can (see
details below). Thank you so very much for ALL your help and kindness!

P.S. Many people have not been able to change clothes since Tuesday, so there is a specific need right now for clean socks & new underwear-for men, women, and children in all sizes. Thanks again.
