With the help of local vendors, churches and generous individuals, we were able to send between $9,000 and $10,000 worth of products to the evacuees at El Toro High School, Del Mar Fairgrounds, Shoreline Church in Oceanside and The Rock Church in San Diego, all within the first four days of the wildfires' onset.
In moments like these, you realize how many things in life are easily taken for granted. We delivered bulk items such as: diapers, pillows, socks and underwear. Other items delievered were in response to specific needs: a pacifier to soothe a fussy baby, puzzles to help children pass the time, maternity pants for a pregnant woman, socks to warm an elderly woman's feet and shoes for a family who didn't have time to grab them when they had to evacuate their home immediatly.
All of this was done in just a few days- image what we can do over an extended period of time by coming together and offering whatever we have to give!
