East Troublesome Fire Friends, with the rapid growth of the East Troublesome fire, the Outbreak of Kindness has been tapped by the county to rally volunteers to assist evacuees at the Silver Creek Inn. Our local Red Cross volunteer force is small and many are considered a vulnerable population, so if you are willing and able to help please email our volunteer Kevin Kozuch (kkozuch@yahoo.com) confirming your phone number and email address and we'll put you on this specific call list for wildfire evacuation support. We have urgent need for food immediately for evacuees, brought to Church of Eternal hills asap, Thursday morning: -fruit/applesauce cups -apples, oranges, bananas -bread -peanut butter -prewrapped breakfast pastries (separate, packaged, not fresh/loose) -individual juice bottles/boxes -crackers -canned/pouch tuna We also need clothing in good condition washed and packaged by size and gender. Many of our neighbors fled with just the clothes on their back. Please bring them to Church of the Eternal Hills. If you know anyone who needs help or resources, please have them head to the Inn at Silvercreek for counseling, referral and support.
