Luckily they haven't been represented in the local news, I don't think they're doing much here. While I'm not on board for all things Redcross, in this instance, I do see that they are doing the bulk of putting people in safe shelter. i.e. hotels etc.Don't use the salvation army!!!!

Redcross is great! Just not salvation army. I've run into a problem with my bakesale idea.....I have to make whole batches of things, or I'll end up losing money by making whole batches then selling like 1/2 of all of it. Maybe I can sell things in increments of 6 to match up with recipes? What would good prices be on that??Luckily they haven't been represented in the local news, I don't think they're doing much here.

I heard recently that chapstick is the very first thing that runs out in both emergency & homeless shelters. Also feminine hygiene products...A few thoughts.... wood and paper products will very quickly become scarce, and the prices will sky rocket.
Check within your local communities to see if there is a collection site for the fire and/or hurricane victims. We could possibly drop items off to donate.
Things these people will need for themselves and their pets: blankets, pet foods, everyday toiletries for men & women, leashes & collars, lead ropes & halters, small/medium/large pet cages or crates, towels, old stuffed animals to comfort dogs & cats in the crates. Basically, try to think of the basic necessary things you would miss or need yourself, if you just lost everything. Donate them if you have extra.
Good thinkingIn my area of So Cal the Humane Society has been working tirelessly to help with evacuations, finding temporary fosters & also cool zones for animals in distress.
When you are making monetary donations to any charity, you might want to ear mark where you want the money to go to. For example. “Oregon fires animal rescue” or similar.
