It’s good to know that the churches are out in force to help out the people in Orange County and San Diego County. Saddleback Church has provided the following to Santiago/Modjeska/Live Oaks Canyon evacuees. Here’s a newsletter from Pastor Rick Warren:
- Our 120 acre campus has served as a Fire Evacuation Center, caring for and feeding people who had to evacuate their homes. We’ve also been taking care of a lot of pets and horses!
- We’ve also been a staging area and Relief/Refreshment Center for the fire fighters. Today we fed over 425 fire fighters on our church campus. These fire fighters are from all over California.
- Our ministry teams have been placing evacuated families into homes of members.
- We’ve sent out over 100 of our trained volunteer chaplains to care, counsel, and pray at other evacuation sites.
- On Saturday, many of our relief teams will head to the hardest hit areas of San Diego, as well as serving here in our local communities.
- Saddleback is serving as a clearinghouse for relief donations for victims. Many individuals, organizations, and congregations from other states have called and wired funds to Saddleback that we’re distributing to those who’ve lost everything.
There are also many more church relief efforts in San Diego. Here is the list.
