identify volunteer
needs in regards to the wildfires. Currently, trained first responders
are assisting. Please DO go to the evacuation sites
they will let you know what they need. Volunteer San Diego will
post and distribute volunteer
opportunities related to the fires as they become available.

or if you are available to offer help please see this response

1) We still have temporary accommodations available for about
20 people right now in Mira Mesa, La Jolla, UTC,
and Oceanside areas, and we are in the process of mobilizing more.
If you need accommodations or if you are willing
to offer temporary accommodations in your homes, please contact
Rahul @ 858-437-3719 or Nimisha @ 858-357-3891.
2) We have seen it first hand now, and so we know that there is
shortage of blankets, pillows, mattresses, tents.
Please respond directly to the requests for donations that are
coming on the TV, or if you need help transporting
in-kind donation items please contact Harish @858-232-5086.

We also plan to do some relaxation sessions for the evacuees with
music and breath-work if situation demands.
