California Wildfire Victims: Thanksgiving Together

For the residents of Chico, California, and the surrounding communities, Thanksgiving 2018 will be difficult to ever forget. The results of the wildfires burning in the area are as the mayor calls, catastrophic. 

The Town of Paradise and World Central Kitchen, in partnership with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico State, the Associated Students and local school districts, are hosting Thanksgiving Together — a chance to bring together and bless the community through the unifying and healing power of food.

Several nonprofit organizations have stepped up and offered to feed the thousands of displaced residents who are in the area but without a home and essential necessities.

On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, several locations will host Thanksgiving Together, with multiple seating times at each location to accommodate as many people as possible. Additionally, Thanksgiving Together will provide evacuees at all official shelters with a Thanksgiving meal at the shelters themselves. People will not have to leave the official shelters to receive this special Thanksgiving meal, the meal will come to them.


I have decided to fly out to California, to help this event in any way I can on Wednesday November 21 & Thursday November 22.

Donations will be given to this event and the community of Chico, California.
