Paradise California Camp Fire Family

BySt Mary Anne Admin
We are helping a specific family that was devastated by the Paradise California Camp Fire. Lucy Burchess, a parishioner who is now in the Air Force and stationed nearby the devastation, brought this family to our attention.
Amber, Lucy’s friend, is now trying to help her entire family who lost two homes, a business, and all of their belongings. The Vestry voted to match parishioner donations up to $2,000. We have collected approximately 1400.00 as of today. We hope to have all donations in by this Sunday.
The need is great but together, we can make direct impact on one family.
