Do Your Part is offering community members the opportunity to have fundraisers with their group (ie. church, youth group, sports team, school, civic club, etc.) to raise funds to purchase backpacks for Haitian kids. Volunteers can hold garage sale, bake sales, car washes, pancake breakfasts, etc. DYP comes out and presents to your group, sharing the details of the needs of these children and helps organize your drive. Once the event takes place, funds purchase the backpacks and school supplies and we have a 'backpack assembly party'. The supplies are then shipped to Haiti. Your event is filmed and imaged so you see exactly what all your hard work produced from start to finish, including the children receiving the backpacks.
Currently, DYP is delivering 100 backpacks to this orphanage site. They are expecting anywhere from 200-300 students to attend school from the on site orphans to the children of this community.
Please contact Leslie @doyourpart.org for more details on how you can become involved. We make it effortless and provide you with a complete instructional packet and will support and guide you from start to finish. This is a short term volunteer opportunity.

Do Your Part, a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization has been assisting communities with disaster response, relief and recovery since August 2005 when Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. We’ve delivered countless truckloads of relief supplies, fed and kept local firefighters hydrated, served both Los Angeles and San Diego counties with delivery of post disaster supplies and coordination, and currently serve on the Executive and Case Management committee’s for the San Fernando Valley Long Term Recovery Group (assisting Sayre/Marek Wildfires survivors).
When the Station Fire started on August 26, 2009, Do Your Part immediately responded with coordination of animal evacuation, supplying the SPCA in Pasadena with enough bedding materials to last through the sheltering needs, and raising funds to meet the needs of those who lost their homes and all their worldly belongings.
The Station Fire burned 160,577 acres on the Angeles National Forest and took nearly a month to get full containment. It burned out approximately 78 homes in the communities of Acton, Angeles Highway, La Paloma, Palmdale and Vogel Flats. Approximately half of those homes were concentrated in the Big Tujunga Canyon communities.
Big Tujunga Canyon is a small community removed from the hustle and bustle of the suburban San Fernando Valley, It was a strongly gelled and neighborly place. Now, a mere handful of homes remain and many people are still staying with friends and relatives, living in motels and trying to put their lives back together. Without federal declaration from FEMA, and many without insurance (or underinsured), the challenges of recovering are heightened and complex at the very least. The media’s attention has moved on and survivors are fending for themselves the best they can.
We at Do Your Part understand the needs of people in these types of circumstances and are seeking support to provide ongoing long term recovery case management. In larger scale disasters, typically many long term non-profit entities coordinate their efforts to disaster survivors for a period of 1-2 years. In this situation, the local assistance center is closed and the immediate first response assistance is over with. The much appreciated help was there, but not available for the long haul. We do not want to see anyone left behind or forgotten.
Our goal is to provide continuing assistance with things like household items; appliances; gift cards; clothing; furniture; rental assistance; and emergency financial aid. It is our mission to meet the ongoing urgent needs of the Big Tujunga Canyon residents for a minimum of 1-2 years. We are trained to apply disaster case management services and will fairly disperse donated funds by evaluating each client’s needs thoroughly.
Won’t you help us help our neighbors? Your donation will make a significant impact in the lives of folks that have suffered a great trauma and loss. Do Your Part has the ability to deliver 100% of your donated dollars to people in need with no overhead costs and a 100% volunteer operated organization.

Do Your Part is on standby to respond to potential debris flows, mudslides and flash flooding that is imminent with 2 inches rain projected to make landfall in the Angeles National Forest (Station Fire burna area) on Tues. 10/13/09. The Angeles National Forest is on 100% mandatory evacuation at this time. Vogel Flats, La Paloma and all the foothills between Big Tujunga and the Hansen Dam are on alert for debris flows. We are coordinating supplies to be on delivery standby for things like:
Shovels
Flood Squeegees
Cleaning Supplies
Flood Buckets
Masks - N95 w/Respirators
First Aid supplies
Whether disaster is avoided with this round of rain, these supplies are urgently needed to be at the ready as a wet winter is predicted and the USGS projects 100% that these debris flows will take place.

Coats/Jackets - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW (We have a size list)
Socks - Adult Sizes
Small Household Items

Toiletries:

Razers
Toothpaste/Toothbrushes

The best thing one can donate is gift cards so folks can make their own purchases to places like:
Anna's Linen's
Bed Bath & Beyond
Wal-Mart
Target
Ross
Marshalls
Big Lots
Home Depot
Lowe's
Sears
J.C. Penneys
Best Buy
Grocery Stores (Vons/Ralpsh/Albertsons, etc.)
WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!
Contact us directly if you'd like to learn how you can help with either an in-kind donation or volunteer to support the Station Fire families at:

Do Your Part, a non-profit 501(c)3 disaster relief organization needs your help!
We are gathering donations for the San Diego California Wildfires and are currently securing a donation drop-off location that will be open all day on Friday 10/26/07.
Delivery will be made to the Naval Base Loma Point on Sat. 10/27/07, where there are 360 families with more on their way as a result of the Harris wildfire. We are also assisting the Church of Jesus Christ in Escondido, as well as a growing list of other sites with very urgent needs. Most of these people left their homes with nothing due to immediate evac orders and resources are stretched very thin with the astonishing number of evacuations.
We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.

The Station Fire burned 160,577 acres on the Angeles National Forest and took nearly a month to get full containment. It burned out approximately 78 homes in the communities of Acton, Angeles Highway, La Paloma, Palmdale and Vogel Flats. Approximately half of those homes were concentrated in the Big Tujunga Canyon communities.
Big Tujunga Canyon is a small community removed from the hustle and bustle of the suburban San Fernando Valley, It was a strongly gelled and neighborly place. Now, a mere handful of homes remain and many people are still staying with friends and relatives, living in motels and trying to put their lives back together. Without federal declaration from FEMA, and many without insurance (or underinsured), the challenges of recovering are heightened and complex at the very least. The media’s attention has moved on and survivors are fending for themselves the best they can.
We at Do Your Part understand the needs of people in these types of circumstances and are seeking support to provide ongoing long term recovery case management. In larger scale disasters, typically many long term non-profit entities coordinate their efforts to disaster survivors for a period of 1-2 years. In this situation, the local assistance center is closed and the immediate first response assistance is over with. The much appreciated help was there, but not available for the long haul. We do not want to see anyone left behind or forgotten.
Our goal is to provide continuing assistance with things like household items; appliances; gift cards; clothing; furniture; rental assistance; and emergency financial aid. It is our mission to meet the ongoing urgent needs of the Big Tujunga Canyon residents for a minimum of 1-2 years. We are trained to apply disaster case management services and will fairly disperse donated funds by evaluating each client’s needs thoroughly.
Won’t you help us help our neighbors? Your donation will make a significant impact in the lives of folks that have suffered a great trauma and loss. Do Your Part has the ability to deliver 100% of your donated dollars to people in need with no overhead costs and a 100% volunteer operated organization.

Do Your Part is on standby to respond to potential debris flows, mudslides and flash flooding that is imminent with 2 inches rain projected to make landfall in the Angeles National Forest (Station Fire burna area) on Tues. 10/13/09. The Angeles National Forest is on 100% mandatory evacuation at this time. Vogel Flats, La Paloma and all the foothills between Big Tujunga and the Hansen Dam are on alert for debris flows. We are coordinating supplies to be on delivery standby for things like:
Shovels
Flood Squeegees
Cleaning Supplies
Flood Buckets
Masks - N95 w/Respirators
First Aid supplies
Whether disaster is avoided with this round of rain, these supplies are urgently needed to be at the ready as a wet winter is predicted and the USGS projects 100% that these debris flows will take place.

Wal-Mart
Target

Marshalls
Big Lots
Home Depot
Lowe's
Sears
J.C. Penneys

Grocery Stores (Vons/Ralpsh/Albertsons, etc.)
WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!

Do Your Part is offering community members the opportunity to have fundraisers with their group (ie. church, youth group, sports team, school, civic club, etc.) to raise funds to purchase backpacks for Haitian kids. Volunteers can hold garage sale, bake sales, car washes, pancake breakfasts, etc. DYP comes out and presents to your group, sharing the details of the needs of these children and helps organize your drive. Once the event takes place, funds purchase the backpacks and school supplies and we have a 'backpack assembly party'. The supplies are then shipped to Haiti. Your event is filmed and imaged so you see exactly what all your hard work produced from start to finish, including the children receiving the backpacks.
Currently, DYP is delivering 100 backpacks to this orphanage site. They are expecting anywhere from 200-300 students to attend school from the on site orphans to the children of this community.
Please contact Leslie @doyourpart.org for more details on how you can become involved. We make it effortless and provide you with a complete instructional packet and will support and guide you from start to finish. This is a short term volunteer opportunity.

Do Your Part, a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization has been assisting communities with disaster response, relief and recovery since August 2005 when Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. We’ve delivered countless truckloads of relief supplies, fed and kept local firefighters hydrated, served both Los Angeles and San Diego counties with delivery of post disaster supplies and coordination, and currently serve on the Executive and Case Management committee’s for the San Fernando Valley Long Term Recovery Group (assisting Sayre/Marek Wildfires survivors).
When the Station Fire started on August 26, 2009, Do Your Part immediately responded with coordination of animal evacuation, supplying the SPCA in Pasadena with enough bedding materials to last through the sheltering needs, and raising funds to meet the needs of those who lost their homes and all their worldly belongings.
The Station Fire burned 160,577 acres on the Angeles National Forest and took nearly a month to get full containment. It burned out approximately 78 homes in the communities of Acton, Angeles Highway, La Paloma, Palmdale and Vogel Flats. Approximately half of those homes were concentrated in the Big Tujunga Canyon communities.
Big Tujunga Canyon is a small community removed from the hustle and bustle of the suburban San Fernando Valley, It was a strongly gelled and neighborly place. Now, a mere handful of homes remain and many people are still staying with friends and relatives, living in motels and trying to put their lives back together. Without federal declaration from FEMA, and many without insurance (or underinsured), the challenges of recovering are heightened and complex at the very least. The media’s attention has moved on and survivors are fending for themselves the best they can.
We at Do Your Part understand the needs of people in these types of circumstances and are seeking support to provide ongoing long term recovery case management. In larger scale disasters, typically many long term non-profit entities coordinate their efforts to disaster survivors for a period of 1-2 years. In this situation, the local assistance center is closed and the immediate first response assistance is over with. The much appreciated help was there, but not available for the long haul. We do not want to see anyone left behind or forgotten.
Our goal is to provide continuing assistance with things like household items; appliances; gift cards; clothing; furniture; rental assistance; and emergency financial aid. It is our mission to meet the ongoing urgent needs of the Big Tujunga Canyon residents for a minimum of 1-2 years. We are trained to apply disaster case management services and will fairly disperse donated funds by evaluating each client’s needs thoroughly.
Won’t you help us help our neighbors? Your donation will make a significant impact in the lives of folks that have suffered a great trauma and loss. Do Your Part has the ability to deliver 100% of your donated dollars to people in need with no overhead costs and a 100% volunteer operated organization. -> 8/12/10:
Do Your Part is offering community members the opportunity to have fundraisers with their group (ie. church, youth group, sports team, school, civic club, etc.) to raise funds to purchase backpacks for Haitian kids. Volunteers can hold garage sale, bake sales, car washes, pancake breakfasts, etc. DYP comes out and presents to your group, sharing the details of the needs of these children and helps organize your drive. Once the event takes place, funds purchase the backpacks and school supplies and we have a 'backpack assembly party'. The supplies are then shipped to Haiti. Your event is filmed and imaged so you see exactly what all your hard work produced from start to finish, including the children receiving the backpacks.

Do Your Part is on standby to respond to potential debris flows, mudslides and flash flooding that is imminent with 2 inches rain projected to make landfall in the Angeles National Forest (Station Fire burna area) on Tues. 10/13/09. The Angeles National Forest is on 100% mandatory evacuation at this time. Vogel Flats, La Paloma and all the foothills between Big Tujunga and the Hansen Dam are on alert for debris flows. We are coordinating supplies to be on delivery standby for things like:
Shovels
Flood Squeegees
Cleaning Supplies
Flood Buckets
Masks - N95 w/Respirators
First Aid supplies
Whether disaster is avoided with this round of rain, these supplies are urgently needed to be at the ready as a wet winter is predicted and the USGS projects 100% that these debris flows will take place.

Home Depot
Lowe's

J.C. Penneys

Grocery Stores (Vons/Ralpsh/Albertsons, etc.)
WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!
Contact us directly if you'd like to learn how you can help with either an in-kind donation or volunteer to support the Station Fire families at:

We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.

WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!

Do Your Part has been on active first response for the Station Wildfire. Activities include gathering vital information for first responders and evacuee's, coordinating pet/equine/livestock evacuation, collecting and delivering bedding that the Pasadena SPCA was able to use for the duration of the evacuation, and currently actively participating in the forming of Long Term Recovery services to the survivors with fire losses.

Sayre Wildfire 11/08 Announcement:
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to all the firefighters, police/sheriff's, animal services, city/county First Responders, government agencies and non-profits that came (and continue to come) to the aid of the Southern California residents impacted by the Sayre Fire.
Do Your Part continues to remain on standby to respond to and support fire families, as well as any organizations/agencies that require assistance with clean up efforts, donations, volunteer coordination, etc.
Registered volunteers, please check your emails and phone messages for any announcements of deployment. We remain vigilent in answering to any calls for activation. Do Your Part will keep you updated on immediate donation/volunteer needs, as well as any longer term projects we'll be involved in to assist folks during the recovery process of this disaster. We thank you for your continued participation, concerns and support.
In Service,
Schlene Boundy, CEO/Do Your Part -> Do Your Part, a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization has been assisting communities with disaster response, relief and recovery since August 2005 when Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast. We’ve delivered countless truckloads of relief supplies, fed and kept local firefighters hydrated, served both Los Angeles and San Diego counties with delivery of post disaster supplies and coordination, and currently serve on the Executive and Case Management committee’s for the San Fernando Valley Long Term Recovery Group (assisting Sayre/Marek Wildfires survivors).
When the Station Fire started on August 26, 2009, Do Your Part immediately responded with coordination of animal evacuation, supplying the SPCA in Pasadena with enough bedding materials to last through the sheltering needs, and raising funds to meet the needs of those who lost their homes and all their worldly belongings.
The Station Fire burned 160,577 acres on the Angeles National Forest and took nearly a month to get full containment. It burned out approximately 78 homes in the communities of Acton, Angeles Highway, La Paloma, Palmdale and Vogel Flats. Approximately half of those homes were concentrated in the Big Tujunga Canyon communities.
Big Tujunga Canyon is a small community removed from the hustle and bustle of the suburban San Fernando Valley, It was a strongly gelled and neighborly place. Now, a mere handful of homes remain and many people are still staying with friends and relatives, living in motels and trying to put their lives back together. Without federal declaration from FEMA, and many without insurance (or underinsured), the challenges of recovering are heightened and complex at the very least. The media’s attention has moved on and survivors are fending for themselves the best they can.
We at Do Your Part understand the needs of people in these types of circumstances and are seeking support to provide ongoing long term recovery case management. In larger scale disasters, typically many long term non-profit entities coordinate their efforts to disaster survivors for a period of 1-2 years. In this situation, the local assistance center is closed and the immediate first response assistance is over with. The much appreciated help was there, but not available for the long haul. We do not want to see anyone left behind or forgotten.
Our goal is to provide continuing assistance with things like household items; appliances; gift cards; clothing; furniture; rental assistance; and emergency financial aid. It is our mission to meet the ongoing urgent needs of the Big Tujunga Canyon residents for a minimum of 1-2 years. We are trained to apply disaster case management services and will fairly disperse donated funds by evaluating each client’s needs thoroughly.
Won’t you help us help our neighbors? Your donation will make a significant impact in the lives of folks that have suffered a great trauma and loss. Do Your Part has the ability to deliver 100% of your donated dollars to people in need with no overhead costs and a 100% volunteer operated organization.

Do Your Part, a non-profit 501(c)3 disaster relief organization needs your help!
We are gathering donations for the San Diego California Wildfires and are currently securing a donation drop-off location that will be open all day on Friday 10/26/07.
Delivery will be made to the Naval Base Loma Point on Sat. 10/27/07, where there are 360 families with more on their way as a result of the Harris wildfire. We are also assisting the Church of Jesus Christ in Escondido, as well as a growing list of other sites with very urgent needs. Most of these people left their homes with nothing due to immediate evac orders and resources are stretched very thin with the astonishing number of evacuations.
We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.

Sayre Wildfire 11/08 Announcement:
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to all the firefighters, police/sheriff's, animal services, city/county First Responders, government agencies and non-profits that came (and continue to come) to the aid of the Southern California residents impacted by the Sayre Fire.
Do Your Part continues to remain on standby to respond to and support fire families, as well as any organizations/agencies that require assistance with clean up efforts, donations, volunteer coordination, etc.
Registered volunteers, please check your emails and phone messages for any announcements of deployment. We remain vigilent in answering to any calls for activation. Do Your Part will keep you updated on immediate donation/volunteer needs, as well as any longer term projects we'll be involved in to assist folks during the recovery process of this disaster. We thank you for your continued participation, concerns and support.
In Service,

(show/hide changes)Mon Oct 12 22:47:48 +0000 2009 by LTel:notes: Do Your Part is on standby to respond to potential debris flows, mudslides and flash flooding that is imminent with 2 inches rain projected to make landfall in the Angeles National Forest (Station Fire burna area) on Tues. 10/13/09. The Angeles National Forest is on 100% mandatory evacuation at this time. Vogel Flats, La Paloma and all the foothills between Big Tujunga and the Hansen Dam are on alert for debris flows. We are coordinating supplies to be on delivery standby for things like:
Shovels
Flood Squeegees
Cleaning Supplies
Flood Buckets
First Aid supplies
Whether disaster is avoided with this round of rain, these supplies are urgently needed to be at the ready as a wet winter is predicted and the USGS projects 100% that these debris flows will take place.

UPDATE - STATION FIRE ONGOING RESPONSE 10/6/09:
URGENT CURRENT DONATION NEEDS:
Clothing - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW - (we have a growing size list)
Shoes/Boots - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW (We have a size list)
Coats/Jackets - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW (We have a size list)
Socks - Adult Sizes
Small Household Items
Furniture
Toiletries:
Body Wash
Shampoo/Conditioner
Razers
Toothpaste/Toothbrushes
Misc. Toiletries
Hygiene/Comfort Kits
The best thing one can donate is gift cards so folks can make their own purchases to places like:
Anna's Linen's
Bed Bath & Beyond
Wal-Mart
Target
Ross
Marshalls
Big Lots
Home Depot
Lowe's
Sears
J.C. Penneys
Best Buy
Grocery Stores (Vons/Ralpsh/Albertsons, etc.)
WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!

URGENT CURRENT DONATION NEEDS:
Clothing - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW - (we have a growing size list)
Shoes/Boots - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW (We have a size list)
Coats/Jackets - CLEAN/GENTLY USED/NEW (We have a size list)
Socks - Adult Sizes
Small Household Items
Furniture
Toiletries:
Body Wash
Shampoo/Conditioner
Razers
Toothpaste/Toothbrushes
Misc. Toiletries
Hygiene/Comfort Kits
The best thing one can donate is gift cards so folks can make their own purchases to places like:
Anna's Linen's
Bed Bath & Beyond
Wal-Mart
Target
Ross
Marshalls
Big Lots
Home Depot
Lowe's
Sears
J.C. Penneys
Best Buy
Grocery Stores (Vons/Ralpsh/Albertsons, etc.)
WE NEED DONATED WAREHOUSE SPACE URGENTLY:
Without warehouse space we cannot serve these families optimally. As people begin to move to permanent (or temporary) locations, they will require EVERYTHING to replace their complete losses. Salvation Army has been passing out vouchers but this will only cover their needs so far. We'd like to be able to store furniture, household items, toiletries, clothing and anything else that will assist them in recovery as time marches forward.
The needs of folks impacted by the Station Fire are changing as the phases of recovery change. The local assistance center is closed now, and the help of larger non-profits is still coming, but dwindling. Red Cross has closed their cases out at the end of Sept. '09. Most people either don't have insurance or are severly underinsured. Many are out of work due to the economy and are really struggling. Some are still living in motels. There is a lot of despair and hope is hard to find. You can help by making even a small donation to make a difference.
We will be purchasing a small number of gift cards with your generous donations we've collected to date and passing them out to the neediest people in the next two weeks. It's greatly appreciated yet there is so much more we can do to give people a hand up and get their lives back together. You aren't hearing much in the news these days, but the reality is the needs haven't changed despite the lack of media coverage. Please don't forget!

Schlene Boundy, CEO of Do Your Part is coordinating first response relief efforts. Several volunteer members of the organization are collecting donated supplies of:
Water
Gatorade
Nutritious Snacks
Fresh Fruit
Delivery is being made to the Command Center (in Sherman Oaks) for City Firefighters as well as County Firefighters.
We are also assisting the Gentle Barn Foundation in Santa Clarita whom had to evacuate all their animals and cannot get to their feed stock and will have URGENT monetary needs to afford transporting them back as well as repairs to their severely damaged facility.
http://www.gentlebarn.org/
Anyone who has a truck, van, car, time, etc. please contact Schlene Boundy or Leslie Teltoe to assist with collecting supplies to keep our firefighters strong and hydrated. As fast as we deliver it, it's gone...the command center is a place for the firefighters to regroup, eat, turn in and pick up equipment and they've been VERY grateful for the community support to take these supplies back out into the field. Their resources are stretched super thin and the community's help is needed URGENTLY!
Please note that 100% of monetary and supply donations go directly to those in need. NONE of the donations go towards salaries or overhead in any way!!!!

Do Your Part, a non-profit 501(c)3 disaster relief organization needs your help!
We are gathering donations for the San Diego California Wildfires and are currently securing a donation drop-off location that will be open all day on Friday 10/26/07.
Delivery will be made to the Naval Base Loma Point on Sat. 10/27/07, where there are 360 families with more on their way as a result of the Harris wildfire. We are also assisting the Church of Jesus Christ in Escondido, as well as a growing list of other sites with very urgent needs. Most of these people left their homes with nothing due to immediate evac orders and resources are stretched very thin with the astonishing number of evacuations.
We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.

If any of you are so inclined to help get it out there, please do so or contact me do discuss further. It can be viewed at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5452108694006803818&hl= en.

Delivery is being made to the Command Center (in Sherman Oaks) for City Firefighters as well as County Firefighters.

Anyone who has a truck, van, car, time, etc. please contact Schlene Boundy or Leslie Teltoe to assist with collecting supplies to keep our firefighters strong and hydrated. As fast as we deliver it, it's gone...the command center is a place for the firefighters to regroup, eat, turn in and pick up equipment and they've been VERY grateful for the community support to take these supplies back out into the field. Their resources are stretched super thin and the community's help is needed URGENTLY!
Please note that 100% of monetary and supply donations go directly to those in need. NONE of the donations go towards salaries or overhead in any way!!!!

UPDATE 11/22/07 LTel:
On Mon. 11/19/07 Schlene Boundy of Do Your Part delivered the following to the Church of Christ Center Relief Site in Dulzura:
Mens/Womens New Underwear/Socks
100 Spanish NIV Bibles
Toiletries
Used/New Clothing
Some misc. canned goods
On Mon. 11/26 a large load of distribution supplies for recovery will be delivered (Shovels/Mops/Wheelbarrows/Work Gloves/Fire Kits/Blankets/Cleaning Supplies/Non-Perishable Food, etc.)
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES 10/23/07:
Schlene Boundy, CEO of Do Your Part is coordinating first response relief efforts. Several volunteer members of the organization are collecting donated supplies of:
Water
Gatorade
Nutritious Snacks
Fresh Fruit
Delivery is being made to the Command Center (in Sherman Oaks) for City Firefighters as well as County Firefighters.
We are also assisting the Gentle Barn Foundation in Santa Clarita whom had to evacuate all their animals and cannot get to their feed stock and will have URGENT monetary needs to afford transporting them back as well as repairs to their severely damaged facility.
http://www.gentlebarn.org/
Anyone who has a truck, van, car, time, etc. please contact Schlene Boundy or Leslie Teltoe to assist with collecting supplies to keep our firefighters strong and hydrated. As fast as we deliver it, it's gone...the command center is a place for the firefighters to regroup, eat, turn in and pick up equipment and they've been VERY grateful for the community support to take these supplies back out into the field. Their resources are stretched super thin and the community's help is needed URGENTLY!
Please note that 100% of monetary and supply donations go directly to those in need. NONE of the donations go towards salaries or overhead in any way!!!!
Thanks for being in service,
Schlene & Leslie

Hello All!
I am writing to share my second documentary relating to Hurricane Katrina and St Bernard Parish. Some of you may be familiar with the first documentary Adam Finberg and I did after Hurricane Katrina. If you don't, feel free to have a peek at:
http://www.doyourpart.org/documentaries.html
or
http://www.jasonite.com/new/mainmenu/films.html.
And, it is selling through: www.indiepix.net- Click on "The Katrina Experience" banner.
We have not done much with the second documentary as our ability to continue volunteering simply ran out. If any of you are so inclined to help get it out there, please do so or contact me do discuss further. It can be viewed at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5452108694006803818&hl= en. It is about 20 minutes in length.
Thanks for watching.

Do Your Part, a non-profit 501(c)3 disaster relief organization needs your help!
We are gathering donations for the San Diego California Wildfires and are currently securing a donation drop-off location that will be open all day on Friday 10/26/07.
Delivery will be made to the Naval Base Loma Point on Sat. 10/27/07, where there are 360 families with more on their way as a result of the Harris wildfire. We are also assisting the Church of Jesus Christ in Escondido, as well as a growing list of other sites with very urgent needs. Most of these people left their homes with nothing due to immediate evac orders and resources are stretched very thin with the astonishing number of evacuations.
We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.

We are also assisting the Church of Jesus Christ in Escondido, as well as a growing list of other sites with very urgent needs. Most of these people left their homes with nothing due to immediate evac orders and resources are stretched very thin with the astonishing number of evacuations.
We will need manpower/volunteers to assist with the donation site on Friday 10/27/07. This will require lifting potentially heavy items.
If you have a large truck or van and you'd like to participate in the delivery run to San Diego early Saturday morning 10/27/07, we welcome your assistance.
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES 10/23/07:
Schlene Boundy, CEO of Do Your Part is coordinating first response relief efforts. Several volunteer members of the organization are collecting donated supplies of:
Water
Gatorade
Nutritious Snacks
Fresh Fruit
Delivery is being made to the Command Center (in Sherman Oaks) for City Firefighters as well as County Firefighters.
We are also assisting the Gentle Barn Foundation in Santa Clarita whom had to evacuate all their animals and cannot get to their feed stock and will have URGENT monetary needs to afford transporting them back as well as repairs to their severely damaged facility.
http://www.gentlebarn.org/
Anyone who has a truck, van, car, time, etc. please contact Schlene Boundy or Leslie Teltoe to assist with collecting supplies to keep our firefighters strong and hydrated. As fast as we deliver it, it's gone...the command center is a place for the firefighters to regroup, eat, turn in and pick up equipment and they've been VERY grateful for the community support to take these supplies back out into the field. Their resources are stretched super thin and the community's help is needed URGENTLY!
Please note that 100% of monetary and supply donations go directly to those in need. NONE of the donations go towards salaries or overhead in any way!!!!
Thanks for being in service,
Schlene & Leslie

Hello All!
I am writing to share my second documentary relating to Hurricane Katrina and St Bernard Parish. Some of you may be familiar with the first documentary Adam Finberg and I did after Hurricane Katrina. If you don't, feel free to have a peek at:
http://www.doyourpart.org/documentaries.html
or
http://www.jasonite.com/new/mainmenu/films.html.
And, it is selling through: www.indiepix.net- Click on "The Katrina Experience" banner.
We have not done much with the second documentary as our ability to continue volunteering simply ran out. If any of you are so inclined to help get it out there, please do so or contact me do discuss further. It can be viewed at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5452108694006803818&hl= en. It is about 20 minutes in length.
Thanks for watching.
