Deliver Essential Goods to Those Impacted by SoCal Fires
Donation protected
NO MORE PHYSICAL DONATIONS
Thank you everyone for your amazing support. We are at capacity for the truck. We will continue to accept financial donations and try to purchase supplies in SoCal and reload the truck.
We can use more help at the house sorting and packing.
We are the Graff family from Danville, and we are working with our community to help the victims of the SoCal fires. In 2021, we spent two weeks at the Paradise fire, running search and rescue operations during the day and delivering basic essentials to families living in shelters at night. We are leveraging what we learned from our experiences in Paradise to help those in need in SoCal.
We are mobilizing a rapid response to deliver essential goods to people living in shelters in the LA area. Our primary need is the donation of the specific goods listed below, and financial contributions will enable us to purchase items not donated (such as socks, PJs, toiletries, etc.) before we head South.
We plan to leave Danville for LA early Monday morning, so please deliver your donations by mid-day on Sunday. In LA, we will drive from shelter-to-shelter distributing your donations to those in need.
We are open to volunteers joining us on the trip or helping organize and pack goods here in Danville.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Donations can be dropped at our home:
425 Alta Vista Ct. Danville
