California Wildfire -

Today our thoughts are with the folks in Southern California who have lost their homes to the wildfires – and also with our fellow Red Crossers who have been working hard to provide food, shelter, and comfort.

So far they haven’t called for any Oregonians to travel south to assist, but our volunteers are on standby just in case.
