Community Mutual Aid
- People looking to donate food, beverages, counseling support, and more to the community members affected by this tragedy can reach out directly to Deschutes County Health Services at healthservices@deschutescounty.org.
- Marissa Hurley is collecting donations of kids’ books, small toys, and especially sensory toys like squishies, Play-Doh, art kits, kinetic sand, etc. for the children who live near Silver Rail and were affected by recent events. These items will be going into a free library for easy access for the children since they can’t access the one at their school. She’ll be delivering the donations at a location in Stone Creek where affected families can access them. If you have anything to donate, please message her (541-419-8738).
