URGENT REQUEST: The San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission Needs Your Help Dear Friends, Just before 1 a.m. on Saturday morning, a fire destroyed the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission's emergency shelter, vehicle fleet, clothing warehouse and food pantry. It took more than 130 brave Los Angeles City firefighters to get the fire under control. Thankfully, there were no injuries, however, the damage is devastating to the Mission and the equipment it uses to serve our San Fernando Valley.   Shelter guests were evacuated to a nearby church and are being assisted by the Red Cross. The Mission's fleet of five box trucks, and two vans were completely destroyed in the blaze, bringing to a halt the S.O.S. program that provided mobile relief.The larger trucks were used to pick up donations of clothing and food for the thrift store and food bank; the thrift store production center and contents were also decimated in the fire. The destruction of the Mission's vehicle fleet will seriously impact the emergency mobile program, which travels to six distinct areas of the Valley each week equipped with its mobile shower unit, hot nutritious food, and clothing and hygiene items for distribution. Each month, the SOS program serves an average of 1,500 men, women and children and provides over 1,500 meals, 1,400 items of clothing, 300 showers, and 400 hygiene kits.   Cash donations are the most vital right now and may be made by visiting the Mission's website. Trucks and temporary storage containers are also needed to continue the Mission's work without interruption.You can also make a donation of vital goods. Items needed include: Children's clothing Adult clothing Socks and underwear Gift cards to Department stores and grocery stores New children's shoes Shampoo and conditioner Soap Toothpaste and toothbrushes Feminine products Blankets Small household items Personal hygiene items You can drop off donations at the Sun Valley Thrift Store located at 9007 Lankershim Blvd. in Sun Valley from 9am-6pm daily or at the CD 12 Community Service Center located at 9207 Oakdale Ave. in Chatsworth from 8:30am-4pm, Mondays through Fridays.   In the last year, the Mission provided 9,700 nights of shelter to mothers, fathers and their children. In addition, more than 46,500 meals were served, and dignity was restored to over 10,500 homeless individuals through showers and clean clothes provided at eight mobile locations and three Mission-run thrift stores help fund a pathway for families to get off the streets and into self-sufficiency. The San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission has helped thousands of people in our community get back on their feet. Now it's our turn to help this amazing organization get back on their feet. For more information and how to donate, please contact (888) 937-4448 or call our CD12 Community Service Center at (818) 882-1212. All the Best, <

Hi everyone,

Would each cub scout like to put in some money so that we can either give the rescue mission either a cash donation or I (or someone else) can take the money gathered, buy necessary supplies and deliver it to them?

This could be our service project of the month.

Jessica

I deal regularly with the Rescue Mission and I know they are in great need of clothing donations as well.... even if we can't get a monetary donation going, I think a clothing drive would help out significantly.

I like the clothing drive idea.

[Jessica Chung]

I guess we can accept whatever everyone's willing to donate whether that be money, clothes, toiletries, etc. Although this is short notice, please bring whatever you can tonight. Maybe we can extend it to next week, too.

I'm heading to the store now... What in particular do they need?

The rescue mission is asking for any monetary donation or the following necessities.

• Children's clothing
• Adult clothing
• Socks and underwear
• Gift cards to Department stores and grocery stores
• New children's shoes
• Shampoo and conditioner
• Soap
• Toothpaste and toothbrushes
• Feminine products
• Blankets
• Small household items
• Personal hygiene items

If you'd like to donate any of the above items, I will have my son, Matthew, collect on my behalf as I won't be able to attend next week's meeting due to work. I will have a sheet for Matthew to write down names of the cubs who donate.

I would like to have someone in each den be responsible for a service project each month. The Webelos 1 will do this one. Hopefully, each den could take turns and step up for future projects. Service projects are a win-win for both us and those who are at the receiving end. Those who are in need are grateful while our cubs learn the value of helping others and learn to appreciate what they have.

Thank you,

Jessica
