Donations Welcomed for Southern California 4-H Fire Recovery Efforts

The California State 4-H Office and California 4-H Foundation asked staff how they can best direct people to provide support to families impacted in their county. Here are their responses:

Orange County
Some 4-H families in Orange County sustained property damage in last week's wild fires; however, staff and volunteers are requesting funds be sent to surrounding counties where greater losses were sustained and the need is much greater.

San Diego County
San Diego County 4-H has set up a special fund with their Volunteer Leaders Council to receive funds to benefit 4-H families affected by the fires.

Please make checks payable to: San Diego County 4-H Leaders' Council

Indicate on your check or letter that the funds are for the "Fire Recovery Fund" and send them to:

San Diego County 4-H Leaders' Council
c/o Hogan Tong
5555 Overland Ave, Suite 4101
San Diego, CA 92123

Los Angeles County
Los Angels County 4-H has set up a special fund with their Volunteer Leaders Council to receive funds to benefit 4-H families affected by the fires.

Please make checks payable to: Los Angeles County 4-H Leaders' Council

Indicate on your check or letter that the funds are for the "Fire Recovery Fund" and send them to:
Los Angeles County 4-H Leaders' Council
c/o Mary Lash
9497 E. Foster Road
Downey, CA 90242

San Bernardino County
Staff requested people send their donations to the local chapter of Red Cross in their county. Be sure to indicate you wish the funds to be used in San Bernardino County to help the people affected by the recent wild fires. Once that is done, the Inland Empire Red Cross will put those resources into the allocated fund.

The web link for donations in San Bernardino requires the donor to set up a free account at arc-inlandempire.axxiomportal.com.

Otherwise, you can mail donations to:

Inland Empire Chapter
202 West Rialto Avenue
P.O. Box 183
San Bernardino , California 92408

The State 4-H Office and California 4-H Foundation wish to thank everyone for the outpouring of kindness and generosity to help the 4-H families from these areas put their lives back together again.
