“It is our job to help. When a natural disaster strikes, Catholic Charities not only holds the victims in their prayers, we are called to action to provide boots-on-the-ground assistance. We are asking everyone in our community to drop off donations of warm clothing, blankets, paper goods and toiletries and we will take them directly to those in need,” says Marie Baxter, CEO, Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada.

“We will deliver items to the main donation centers in Oroville and Chico as directed by Butte County officials and through the network of Catholic parishes over the next two weeks, and longer if there is still a need. Our number one job is to help those in need and now is the time,” says Baxter.

Donations that cannot be used in California will be donated to the St. Vincent’s Thrift Store – so 100% of every donation will help those in crisis.

Needed items include:

• Visa giftcards

• Warm clothes (Jackets, hats, gloves)

• Blankets

• Shoes (sizes 8-11 for men, and 7-9 for women, preferably new)

• Paper products (toilet paper, forks, spoons, paper plates, paper towels)
