A huge thank you to everyone who has donated. We did our best to find fire victims who needed help and were able to give them much of what they needed from the items and money that came in. Another family lost their rental home and everything in it a few weeks ago and the few things we had left were a big help to them.
Because we need to clear out our storage areas we will hold a yard sale soon and will divide the money raised between local fire departments and Sanpete Sub-for-Santa. There is a local clothing bank or two that will always allow future fire victims and others in need to draw from so they will likely get clothing items they can use.
Again - thanks for your help. We'll keep this blog and our Facebook page open in case another local emergency need arises. If there are any Wood Hollow fire victims still in need please have them call Katie at 435-427-5500.
