Ways to help after the fire

Hi all,

I put this in a comment on my earlier post, but I figured I should make a new post with the information.

Giselle is our representative with Sister Carmen Community Center, and they are helping people impacted by the fires. They can use a number of donated items:

hats
mittens
scarves
blankets
sleeping bags
gift cards, especially to restaurants or Walmart

Sister Carmen also welcomes monetary donations, which will pay for hotel rooms for people who need a place to stay.

You can find out more at their website.HERE

Please no food or bottled water at this time, but check their website for updates, as what is needed will change over time.

You can drop off donations directly to Sister Carmen Community Center or contact Giselle at livelively@comcast.net and make arrangements to drop them off at her house in Lafayette.

Please feel free to comment below with other ways to help. If YOU need help or someone to talk with, please don't hesitate to reach out to this group, or me personally (contact info in previous post). We are your community, and we are here for you.

A while back, we worked on a project to make blankets for the local police to distribute to comfort people (especially children) involved in difficult and traumatic situations. A great group of people kept this going, and the Lafayette police are still receiving blankets to distribute. They said they can always use more blankets, so let's make that happen. The challenge is this: knit 24 squares in 2024. Each month, I'll share two stitch patterns, ranging from very simple and to more challenging. The patterns are just to keep you interested. You can knit them all, knit just th...
