 The local community is pulling together to help
our neighbors in Tahoe recover from the destruction of the Angora Fire. The 3,100 acre
fire was contained on Sunday, but not before destroying 254 homes, damaging 25
others and displacing about 3500 people. Amador County residents are holding
Angora Fire Donation Drives in three different locations to help the displaced
families recover. The
Donation Drive will be held Saturday July 7th from 10am to 4pm in
three different locations; at the Volcano Communications Tech Center, behind
the Pine Grove Park, Calvary Chapel located at 18400 Ridge Road in Pine Grove,
and at Detert Park Baseball Field in Jackson.
 All donations are going directly to the Tahoe
Daily Tribune for distribution to fire victims. Local businesses are also
offering to be check or cash donation locations as well. Mother Lode Market in Jackson is
accepting donations. Raley’s Super Market is accepting cash donations at each
check stand and are also matching up to $100,000 for the Tahoe Relief fund.
Sutter Amador Hospital is accepting cash or check donations that will be sent
to Barton Memorial Hospital for the Fire Relief Fund. If you are interested in
donating items a complete list of needed items are available online by visiting
TSPN’s website at www.tspntv.com and look for the Angora Fire Donation List.
If you would like to
volunteer your time, please call Jackie Vaughn at 296-6868. If you have a truck
for transport to Tahoe on July 9th, please call Pastor George Stathos at
296-7888.
