Today Trinity County will be setting up a fire information and aid center in the Ruth Lake Community Service District building in Mad River. FEMA, Red Cross and others will also be there to begin longer term assistance to the fire victims. Members of the Office of Education and the Health and Human Services will be present. The Weaverville Lions Club will also be there today to assess the needs.
To date the Trinity County Food Bank has made at least six box truck and two pickup truck runs to this location with food and emergency supplies. The initial runs were with camping supplies purchased and donated by the Trinity County Agriculture Alliance and food from the Food Bank. The Food Bank will be making a food run the first week of November. We have distributed a “needs list” to the fire victims and have begun filling those lists and transporting the items to the Mad River site. There are approximately 40 full-time residences that were burned, out of the earlier reported 220 houses that were burnt. Most were summer homes which is not the focus of the food bank.
Of the 40 full-time residences we have received six “needs list” and filled them all. Some of the 40 will not come back. Some will find another residence out of the area while they rebuild, some have moved in with friends and some are staying put even though their shelter is gone. The focus of Trinity Food Outreach, Inc. will remain on emergency supplies for the burned out victims.
The “needs list” consist of clothing at specific sizes, personal hygiene items, generators, propane, gas cans, camping gear, etc. Today we sent down a refurbished stove and refrigerator for a couple living in a shed with power. Stephanie, from the Office of Education, receives the lists and shops in Redding. She brings the items to the food bank and they go out the next day. As the fire victims return there will be new and different requests for us to fill.
The funds you have entrusted to Trinity Food Outreach are more than sufficient for now. As the site at Van Duzen gears up with the Red Cross and FEMA our efforts will diminish and, over time, return to supplying food to those in need. We are so blessed to have the new addition to our warehouse. This addition gave us the space to store the over 15 pallets of items needed during this fire. We are also blessed to have the four box trucks that could respond rapidly to the emergency needs of the fire victims.

Thank you all many times over.
