Special Projects:

We realize that we can’t use any branch or state money to help our members who lost their homes in the Paradise Fire, but we encourage you to publish something to your branch members to urge individuals to help.

There are three ways members can personally provide assistance:

1. Members can donate gift cards to stores such as Target, Penny’s, Macy’s, K Mart, CVS, Rite Aid, Safeway, Walmart, Raley’s etc. Send any gift cards to our state office:

AAUW of California, 1331 Garden Highway, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95833
Our office manager will send them to a contact in the Paradise branch for distribution.

2. Paradise members are in need of housing in Northern California. If you have any information about rentals please contact Carol Holzgrafe at 530-774-4009 or email her at carol@holzgrafe.com.

3. Donate through recognized 501(c)(3) organizations

• For animals: Nvadg.org.  The North Valley Animal Disaster Group. They rescued and are caring for a couple thousand dog and cats plus horses, donkeys, pigs, llamas, rabbits, birds, tortoises, pet snakes and more.
