Howdy Friends,
The local fires are very scary and we all wish there was something we can do to help. Well there is! Those firefighters need fluids to keep fighting (for weeks it looks like) and you can donate some drinks to help out!
My Boy Scout contacts have just shared with me that the Verdugo Hills Council, Boy Scouts of America office will be using their parking lot as a collection point for Scout families to bring gifts of fluid replenishment drinks, hopefully in case quantities, to refresh the fire crews.
The following types of drinks are welcome and will be transported in bulk to the command center, where fire crews are camped out, getting much needed rest for their next shift:
Gatorade or PowerAde type drinks
Bottled water
Also Energy bars.
Then so-called energy drinks like RedBull, Monster & so forth, are not the best for replenishing minerals and fluids, and in fact may not be a welcome contribution by the crews.
They are open today until 7:00PM, then 8:00AM to 5:00PM the rest of the week.
Verdugo Hills Council - Boy Scouts of America
1325 Grandview Avenue
Glendale, California 91201
phone (818) 243-6282
I hope you and your family can help out.
Many thanks,
Karla Buhlman
