LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Donations to support efforts battling and surviving the Rocky fire are pouring into the county.
On Wednesday, the American Red Cross received a truckload of items at its evacuation shelter at Kelseyville High School from contributors representing AT&T.
“The disaster bags items were donated by AT&T employees, mostly from the Sacramento area and some from the Lake County area,” relief volunteer Mike Holland said. “They were driven to Kelseyville all the way from Sacramento (Wednesday) morning by AT&T Pioneers Donna Doty Wolf and Darcy Sheehan.”
Holland said he and his family met the women in Lower Lake and together they went on to Kelseyville to make the delivery to what he said were very appreciative American Red Cross members.
“They will make sure the donations reach those people in need and that some of the hygiene products make it to the many firefighters that may need them,” he said.
The disaster bags, packed by the AT&T Pioneers, included toothpaste, toothbrushes, body soap, shampoo, nail clippers, combs, Band-Aids, facial tissues, hand towels, socks, stuffed animals and small games for children and more.
Holland said he also received word from the wife of a firefighter from El Dorado Hill.
“She said she wanted to keep occupied while her husband is here battling the fire,” Holland said. “She went shopping at her local Costco and Safeway and is currently stuffing bags for us.”
