Hello! I am a business education teacher and student government advisor in a small high school in Iowa - BUT I am a Southern California native who wants to help! We heard in response to our posting on Craigs List that shelters are in need of new underwear for fire victims, however we're not sure which shelters they are. We are holding "Knickers for Neighbors" - a pantie drive, if you will - but need to know where to send our knickers. Can you help direct us? Or can you post my request and have shelters simply reply?
Many thanks,
Rebecca

You can try St. Vincent de Paul Village. They were just on the radio talking about how they are collecting donations at their warehouse that they will then distribute to the shelters based on individual needs. I know they will also be overwhelmed with newly homeless persons seeking long-term housing.
From their website:
Father Joe's Villages is responding to our neighbors in need who have been affected by the fires. We are providing relief to victims at Qualcomm by helping provide meals, cots, blankets, water, pet food and medical services through our Mobile Health Clinic.
We need your help!
Greatest Needs
Gift Cards: Sam's, Costco, Smart & Final
In order to buy bulk food, water and necessary hygiene and medical supplies.
You can also make donations of usable goods at our main warehouse at
3350 E St San Diego, CA 92102-3332.
