Help the Islamic Center of Chico purchase cash cards to distribute to Paradise wildfire victims.



The Camp Fire in Butte County, California, has devastated the community of Paradise and the surrounding areas. More than 600 people are missing and dozens have died. The Islamic Center of Chico is collecting resources to help the victims and needs our support to purchase and distribute cash cards, which can be the most helpful form of donation during a disaster.

CAIR-Sacramento Valley has teamed up with Islamic Relief USA, ICNA Relief, Helping Hands, the Council of Sacramento Valley Islamic Organizations, the Islamic Center of Yuba City, the Islamic Center of Live Oak, Muslim Community of Folsom, the Muslim Mosque Association, SALAM Center, Masjid Annur, Masjid As-Sabur, the MAS Community and Youth Center, the Muslim Community Center - East Bay, and Tarbiya Institute to raise funds to support the Islamic Center of Chico's efforts. Please join us in supporting our fellow Californians in need right now! Thank you!!

    Amazing: $30,000 in only 4 days!

    Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have raised an amazing amount in less than a week! Within less than 24 hours, you contributed more than $20,000! 

    Since we are already hitting $30,000, thanks to you, we are raising the goal to $50,000. People have contributed from across the state, nation and even world! 

    And the funds are very much needed.

    Just today, Thursday, $15,000 worth of cards was distributed to evacuees by the Islamic Center of Chico. Evacuees also received clothing, blankets, food and other goods. (The photo is from today.)

    You are making a huge impact and we can't thank you enough! Let's keep up the momentum to help our neighbors in need!

    P.S.: Our wonderful co-sponsors, ICNA SF Bay Area Relief, will be heading to Chico with Mercy on Wheels food trucks on Saturday and Sunday to feed those in need. The trucks will be at 2375 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, across from Tractor Supply.
