If you live around Central Texas or have family or friends that have been affected, you may have heard about the devastating wildfires that have raged in our area for the last few days.
I have organized donations for Capital Area Food Bank by simply emailing friends, family, our neighbors and Clay's school. It is an easy way to help. Just let a box on your doorstep and ask neighbors to drop items by and then take them to the organization of your choice.
Many families lost everything, including pets. It will take months to get their life back to normal. Please support your community by donating to one of the following organizations.
If you live in Austin and would like to make a non-perishable food donation to be dropped off at Capital Area Food Bank, please contact me directly.
