As soon as the Camp Fire began, we started organizing our response. For more than three weeks, we deployed multiple Emergency Disaster Service teams from Chico, Oroville, Redding, Sacramento, Auburn, Roseville, Santa Rosa, Yuba City, Reno and Solano County. At the height of the need for immediate response, we were serving at eight different locations.
Our teams provided three meals a day, snacks, beverages, essential items, and emotional and spiritual care. The devastation to the area was severe, and with thousands in need, it was difficult at times to even know where to begin. It was the perseverance of our officers, staff and volunteers that made it all possible.
“We lost the home that we had basically waited a year to move into. We had to run out with just the clothes on our backs. My wife was crying, she lost everything, she lost her wedding ring. The food from The Salvation Army has been excellent. It gives a lot of people who have nothing some hope.”
