“Free Store” for fire victims

Note LOCATION CHANGE:
Here is info for a “Free Store” for fire victims. Debbie Kayton, one of our Canyon Springs family members, is hosting one of the drop off sites (11962 Mil Pitrero Rd)—or you can drop off items at South Creek Park, behind Creekside Elementary:

"We were fortunate enough to be able to host the KIDS KORPS FREE STORE for fire victims at South Creek Park, behind CREEKSIDE ELEMENTARY ON SATURDAY (NOT SUNDAY). You will be able to drop off donation items at the park directly behind the school : 12362 Springhurst Dr San Diego. We will open doors at 6:00 am on Saturday morning. We will begin the “FREE STORE” at 9:00am.Please focus your donations of items in good condition on the fire victims who need to set up a new rental home.(also school supplies, backpacks, Halloween costumes)"

This might be a great way for our kids and teens to give to other kids who have suffered loss. The simple act of shopping (with their own money) for a peer is a great way to learn about service and outreach. I know many of us know families who have been affected, and I am sure all of us are helping in some way. This is just another option to think about.


Praying that all of you are seeking what is important and valuable during this time. Let’s keep Christ at the center of all we do and say.

Through Christ,

Kirsten Loy
