- Needed: flashlights, batteries, toiletries, towels, and several other items
Many Southern Californians have, in recent days, been wondering, asking, and inquiring with various agencies how they can be of service to their neighbors, the neighbors impacted and displaced by the recent fires sweeping through the region.
Because, of course, the people we call our neighbors are not just of the next-door variety, but exist throughout the wider area we think of as home, and wanting to help, somehow, is something a lot of locals are feeling as we head into the middle of December 2017.
Here's one immediate way: The Mullin Automotive Museum, the car institution located in Oxnard, will be holding a day-long donation drive on Saturday, Dec. 16.
Several items are on the request list, so if you can stop by with one, or six, or a dozen, please do. Sleeping bags, flashlights, blankets, batteries, phone chargers, toiletries, towels, diapers (babies), absorbency underwear (adult), toys (both new and used), and hotel and motel vouchers or gift cards are all needed items.
Also? Financial contributions will be welcome, too. Writing a check? Catholic Charities is the place, with "Thomas Fire Relief" going on the subject line.
"Every donation will get free admission to the museum," reveals a representative.
