ABOUT

Who are we?  Well, as the homes burned and news agencies reported,  people from all around began gathering donations of clothing and other items to send to the Wood Hollow Fire Victims.  This was great, but there was no army of volunteers on the Fairview end to receive and process the donations.   Robin Andersen, owner of Time & Again Thrift, offered to take the donations and arranged to set up a Relief Center in the donated main floor of the former North Bend Trading Post, owned by the James family.

The donations came by the truck and trailer load - mostly used clothing, shoes, toys and linens and new toiletry, food and other items. Robin was quickly inundated and The Corner Station in Fairview offered to act as a sorting center as new donations came in. It didn't seem right to let the many stacks of generous and thoughtful donations go to waste but it was a huge mess with only 2 or 3 volunteers working on the project for the first couple of weeks. Eventually, after 100's of hours of work by a few and with the help of some faithful new volunteers and a youth group from Riverton and a young singles LDS Ward from Draper, the Relief Center began to take shape.  Help is still needed.

Then, after a few weeks, we lost that location and are now renting a storage unit at Northbend Storage Park in Fairview.  It is nearly organized :)  Larger items like furniture are stored free at the old Fairview Flour Mill.  The fire victims were very grateful to have a few things to start out their new homes. 

As fire victims (we should say fire VICTORS) visit the storage unit, they find a good selection of nice clothing (& work/play clothing) for all ages and sizes, toiletry items, kitchenware, towels, bed linens, toys, shoes, etc. and what isn't there, we try to get. 

Household donations and items like furniture will continue to be available at the mill for the fire victims.

We have a Facebook community page where we let folks know what items our neighbors are in need of - and then the items seem to show up quietly on the doorstep a day or two later.  The Sanpete Humanitarian Council has offered their resources.  We coordinate with the Mount Pleasant Food Bank.  Wasatch Academy and others brought several loads of furniture items and more furniture is being solicited and stored for present and future needs.

We are trying to coordinate with local Churches and any others who are working to help so we don't duplicate services or hinder efforts.  If you know of any programs or projects to help those who are affected by the Indianola Fire, please let us know so we can cooperate in any way possible.  

No one is making a profit from this effort.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact -
