Local firefighters and volunteers received over $150,000 in supplies to deliver to Oregon’s worst-hit fire-zones.Over the weekend, local volunteers with Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW), a California based non-profit founded by Paul Walker, met at the Eugene Airport to receive incoming donations and oversee distribution to various evacuee resource sites across the state, including the Evacuee Distribution Center at the Masonic Lodge in Eugene, the Lane County Public Health Department, Glide Revitalization, Cal-Ore Life Flight in Gold Beach, Living Waters Church in Medford, and more. The supply distribution is being carried out as ROWW Phase 1 Response to the West Coast Wildfires. Twenty volunteer pilots from across California loaded their planes with Direct Relief-donated material at Santa Barbara Airport on Saturday morning, Sept. 19 before departing for Eugene, Oregon.Additional supplies are being contributed via Reach Out WorldWide’s Disaster Relief Partnership with Lowe’s.

As active and threatening fires die down, they will begin providing site-cleaning/clearing supplies and machinery to aid victims with recovery and rebuilding efforts.Reach out Worldwide is a 501(c)(3) registered Disaster Relief Non-Profit run by Gold Beach alum Felicia Knox Walker and her husband Cody Walker.
