If you want to help the victims of the North Bay fires

Want to help our food banks in the North Bay as they assist fire victims? Here’s what our North Bay food banks are asking for:

Banco de alimentos Redwood Empire

• Cash donations are the best and easiest way to help. Please click here to make an online donation.
• If you are in the area you can donate ready-to-eat, non-perishable foods that they can provide to the evacuation centers immediately. These foods should be easy to open and easy to eat – many shelters do not have kitchens for heating and preparing food. Please do not bring glass containers.

Acción Comunitaria del Banco de Alimentos del Valle de Napa

• Cash donations are the only thing they can accept at the moment as they are without power or internet. Please click here to make an online donation.

Banco de alimentos Yuba-Sutter

• This food bank is entirely volunteer-run and they are currently in need of cash donations. Please click here to make an online donation.

We’ll post more information on the status of our emergency response when we have updates.
