Make a difference
Oct. 25 is “Make a Difference Day” in Pateros, where volunteers will help fire victims with chores such as cleaning up fire areas, sorting items in the relief center, running errands, winterizing trailers, helping families get ready for winter, and many more.
If you plan to participate, bring gloves, wear closed shoes, and wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Also bring a sack lunch and water.

Tools for fire victims
