How victims of California's Mountain Fire can find help — and how others can donate or volunteer

Hi everyone, this page is going to be a little different than what you normally see on the group but I thought that it would be nice to have an discussion page for us to pool information and resources on how to either help out with the devastating Mountain Fire that has affected so many in our community who had to either be evacuated, or have had their lives affected through the loss of their property or homes.

I know that some of our members have had to worry about their homes and evacuate, and that many of us know people in the community that have lost more. So to start off I wanted to list some donation links if anyone wants to help out the victims with rebuilding as well as the emergency responders who helped contain the fire and protect people.

If you have any more information for the community or have recommendations in any other ways to pitch in or help, feel free to comment on this "event". Also you can "rsvp" if you would like to be involved and like updates from said comments.

Thank you for reading and sharing! We will leave this page up a bit so most members can take a look.
