The devastating Los Angeles fires have left countless families displaced, many of whom have lost their homes and possessions in the blink of an eye. These families are facing unimaginable challenges and urgently need our community's support to rebuild their lives. We are collecting donations of clothes, hygiene products, and other essential items to provide comfort and relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s warm clothing, toiletries, or basic household supplies, every contribution can make a significant difference in helping these families find stability and hope as they navigate this crisis. If you’re unable to donate items, you can still make a meaningful impact by contributing directly through bristolbates.org/donate (direct or via Paypal). Our volunteers along with several partners will be packaging goods and driving them up to areas impacted this week. Your financial support will allow us to purchase critical resources and deliver aid where it’s needed most. Together, we can stand by our neighbors, offering not just necessities but also the reassurance that they are not alone in this journey. Let’s come together as a community to extend our compassion and help these families take the first steps toward recovery. (fb)

This holiday season, let’s come together to spread joy and support families in need through our Holiday Food Box drive. We are collecting non-perishable food items such as canned goods, boxed meals, snacks, and cooking essentials to help ensure no table goes empty during this special time of year. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated, as every dollar goes directly toward filling food boxes with the essentials needed to celebrate. Contribute Monetary Donations: Every dollar goes directly toward filling Holiday Food Boxes with the essentials families need to celebrate. www.bristolbates.org/donate as a 501(c)(3), your contributions are tax-deductible.
