HURRICANE KATRINA Solano County chapter BIG members Kerry and Carla Vine operate a nonprofit organization that assists families in shelter crises. Together, they organized a very successful food & clothing drive for the victims of the Hurricane Katrina catestrophy. They collected tons of items that the community dropped off at the UPS Store in Granada Hills. A KTLA news segment aired their drive on Friday evening September 9, 2005. The result was two to three tons of food, medicine, and clothing being delivered to their UPS "drop-off" location. |
