How to help/donate:
Call 211 – this will connect you to the United Way’s central clearinghouse for donations. United Way is supporting the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Most likely they will take down your name, contact info and details about what you would like to donate rather than give you specific instructions.
Salvation Army – currently providing meals to the firefighters via a mobile kitchen and cold truck
