In-Kind Donations

The Caldor Fire survivors are still struggling to find rebuild solutions, while putting every penny aside with the hopes to eventually start rebuilding. Most survivors have had to drastically cut their spending in order to save for their future homes.  This leaves many survivors struggling to purchase life's basic need:

​

  • Toiletries - shampoo/conditioner, soap, feminine products

  • Household goods - toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies

  • Personal needs - seasonal clothing, shoes, under garments, etc., for all ages, genders and sizes

​

Through direct contact and information captured through our applications/registrations, we have been able to obtain a list of items that the Caldor Fire Survivors need the most right now.  Please click on the link above to find out how you can help purchase In-Kind items through the West Slope Foundation Amazon Shopping List.
