Catholic Fire Relief in San Diego County

For anyone seeking to donate funds to help uninsured fire victims in the San Diego County wildfires, here are a couple of links for Catholic organizations providing those services:

Catholic Charities - Diocese of San Diego (Catholic Charities has been providing some of the meals for evacuees and will be a source of needed items for those who have had losses and are uninsured or under-insured.)

Father Joe's Villages, including St. Vincent de Paul Village (Father Joe's Villages, which includes St. Vincent de Paul Village, have been providing some of the food, medical services, and other needs for evacuees at Qualcomm Stadium.)

I heard yesterday that Father Joe and St. Vincent de Paul Village have been providing 6,000 meals per day to Qualcomm Stadium and badly need donations to cover the cost. 

Most of the people who evacuated to the stadium on Monday have probably returned home already.  However, those charities will still need to replace money spent on fire relief the past few days.  Also, some of the burned areas will affect uninsured renters, rural homeowners, and  others who may seek assistance from those charities in the wake of the fire. 

If you have questions about how donations of money will be used, please contact the charity directly.  Also please contact the charity before sending donations of clothing or other items, as they may not want more donations in kind at this time.
