Listen up San Diego, the height of the 2007 wildfire tragedy is upon us, over 300,000 people have evacuated, over 1,000 homes are gone, and it’s time to take action. As you well know, most San Diego schools and workplaces are canceled tomorrow, so please keep fire victims in your thoughts, continue to watch the news, pay attention to the wind patterns, and come volunteer with us.

There are plenty of people bringing water and food to the 8-10,000 San Diego residents that are currently displaced at Qualcomm Stadium, but there are other requests and demands that still require attention. Besides the need for shade - tents, canopies, umbrellas - there are many children at Qualcomm that are quite scared and uncertain. This is where we come in.

At 1pm tomorrow, October 23, 2007, we will arrive at Qualcomm Stadium to distribute playful distractions, such as coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals, new or used board games, etc., and popsicles to the hundreds of San Diego children in need. If you can take an hour out of your day to come and help, we would really appreciate it.

If you have anything to offer, or you need more information, please email DiscoverSD Editor, Kirsten Hubbard, at khubbard (at) DiscoverSD (dot) com, and we'll get you in touch with the right people.
