July 9, 2024 – Mariposa Safe Families mobilizes as donation center for families impacted by the French Fire.
As of July 5th, Mariposa Safe Families has been able to provide ongoing support to families who lost their home in the French Fire through our “Family Closet,” providing basic needs support for Mariposa residents in need. The need has since grown, and we are seeking the communities support with donations.
We are now accepting hygiene items and toiletries, new undergarments, diapers, wipes, household items, and gift cards. ****These items will be made available to Mariposa County residents directly impacted by the French Fire**** If you have other items you wish to donate, please let us know!
