Update: Please contact these centers before bringing items. Many of the needs have been met or changed since the first posting.
Maranatha Chapel and Samaritan's Purse are helping people
clear their land. They are focusing on uninsured, elderly, single parent, and handicapped people.
If anyone wants to contact them the website is: www.maranathachapel.org
Also, this was passed on from a friend of Edie Davis:
I discovered the Rancho Bernardo Relief Center, right across the street from the Rancho Bernardo Recreation building/field. The Rec Center is located at 18448 West Bernardo Drive,
and the Relief Center is sign-posted directly across from it. I drove in and asked what they need, and they gave me a list, which I have copied for you below. I asked if they could use
beds or couches . . . and the gentleman there said "yes - anything". Just as I was driving away, an elderly man drove up and told the relief center worker that he had lost everything in the fire.
If you can pass this list on to as many people as you can . . . the relief center worker said that things are flying off the table, especially cleaning supplies.
