As of Friday, ways the community can help victims of the Camp Fire include:

Money: Red Cross and North Valley Community Foundation are suggesting that financial contributions are the best way to help because then needs can be sized up and items purchased. Red Cross information is at www.redcross.org 1-800-733-2767 and North Valley Community Foundation is at www.nvcf.org 891-1150.

Clothes: Chico Elks Lodge, 1705 Manzanita Ave. will take clothes of all sizes.

Food: Salvation Army is looking for fresh produce, such as packaged salads and fruits, for the Church of the Nazarene, 2238 Monte Vista Ave. in Oroville. Homemade food goods will not be accepted. The Red Cross is also looking for 50 new pillows for the church.

Essentials: Bidwell Presbyterian Church, 208 W. First St., Chico is a donation drop-off center for the Red Cross, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Current needs include: diapers (child/adult), toiletries, first aid supplies, feminine hygiene products, water, and snack foods and nonperishable foods.

Volunteers: Caring Choice Emergency Volunteer Center is accepting applications for volunteers 1-866-703-3873 or http://www.caring-choices.org/emergency-volunteer-center–evc-.html

Housing: Airbnb has activated its disaster program for Butte County, which allows members of our community to offer housing free of charge. If you are offering housing or in need of housing, visit www.airbnb.com/welcome/evacuees/buttecounty

Foundation: Golden Valley Bank is creating subaccounts within its foundation for businesses, employees, individuals or groups to accept contributions and self-direct funding for Camp Fire relief. The foundation will create these accounts to accept donations and disburse funds at the direction of the group or individuals who established the account. As an example, many businesses have employees or customers who are affected by the fire and may want to raise funds to assist those employees or customers in their recovery effort. The foundation will create a special account for those funds and distribute them as directed to provide targeted relief where every dollar will directly benefit those affected. There is no charge for this service and the foundation will pay interest on these accounts. Contact bank President Mark Francis or Julia Wilson at 894-1000 or simply mention the Camp Fire Relief effort.

The foundation is also accepting general contributions for Camp Fire Relief. Checks can be made payable to GVBCF – Camp Fire and dropped off or mailed to the bank. Donations can also be accepted through the foundation’s website at www.goldenvalley.bank.
