Calaveras Community Fund donates to 8 groups

   The Calaveras Community Fund, which has been collecting and seeking donations to help the Butte Fire victims has decided how to spend the money raised so far.

   It will be divided between eight organizations:

    to Mountain Ranch Relief Fund, just formed to help Butte victims;

    to Calaveras Grown for erosion control and water system repair;

    to Calaveras Fire and Rescue District to replace street names and addresses;

    to Common Ground Senior Services for senior with fire damage,

    to Friends of Rail Road Flat Schools to assist families impacted by the fire;

    to Calaveras Humane Society--the Butte Fire Vet Assistance Fund to aid animals injured in the fire;

     to the Resource Connection for fire related temporary storage and staffing;

     and to the Salvation Army, the Calaveras County unit for general relief efforts.

   The CCF is continuing to collect donations to give grants in the future.
