A Note from Christina Lawson on the Paradise Fire

As we all know, the families in Northern California are going through some major losses due to the recent fires. It has been reported that these fires are the most destructive in California history. The entire city has burnt down and over 28,000 in population have lost everything.

We are going to be working with “Knuckle Up Clothing” business owners in gathering donations and having them delivered to Paradise, CA. throughout the holidays. They have several drop off areas that will be transporting all the donations via several donated U-Haul & Commercial trucks from local companies.

We are asking anyone that would like to help us help others to please bring any donations (blankets, clothes, tents, pillows, scars & beanie’s, food, shoes, jackets, toiletries, face mask, etc.) to our main kitchen. I will be working directly with Linda & Rendino with Knuckle Up Clothing to have the items dropped off at our designated location, Auto Glass EMT, 4625 W. Jennifer #118, Fresno, CA. This Saturday will be the first delivery to Paradise, CA. Below is a link to read on the additional local business(s) that are taking donations for the victims of the fires. For any cash donations, I will be working with The Red Cross direct.

Thank you in advance for any and all donations. Together, we can make a difference.
