    North Bay Love benefits fire victims at Barlow event in Sebastopol

    FOR THE PRESS DEMOCRAT | October 13, 2017


    The North Bay Love Fire Benefit at The Barlow in Sebastopol on Thursday, Oct. 12 featured a number of local musicians, artist and creative spirits who came together to help those affected by the North Bay wildfires.

    It was put together by a number of local organizations such as The Farmers Guild, the North Bay Organizing Project, Daily Acts, the School Box Project, the Arlene Francis Center, Sebastopol Grange, Community Alliance with Family Farmers and Conservation Action, to establish a Fire Recovery Fund.

    The goal of the Fire Recovery Fund is to channel the organization's collective resources to help families and individuals recover from damages they may have suffered by the North Bay wildfires not covered by insurance or traditional relief services.

    “I showed up to three different evacuation centers on Monday and was turned away because there were too many volunteers,” said Evan Wiig Community Alliance with Family Farmers Director of Membership and Communications. “It was just this feeling of helplessness and knowing that something needed to be done. I started getting calls from everyone I knew asking ‘what can I do, do you know anyway to volunteer’ and I just didn’t have anything for them to do.”
