Creek Fire Resources
As the Creek Fire grows, more and more Central California families are being forced to evacuate. Our hearts go out to the entire community. Below is a list of resources for families in need and ways other families can help.
If you have a local resource to add or edit, please email us at ccparent@ccparent.com
Resources may change daily. Locations may fill up as more families evacuate. Please call beforehand.
Thanks to our generous Central California community, many donation sites are overflowing with material goods. When possible, make monetary donations to reputable organizations helping those affected and/or register with them to volunteer your time. If you wish to donate goods, please contact your organization of choice first to identify the specific good they may still need and make appropriate arrangements.
