New American Heritage Girls troop collecting funds for fire victims Th e girls forming the local American Heritage Girls troop are gathering cash donations and gift cards to send as aid to the Paradise, Calif., communi- ty through the Paradise Four- square Church, which was de- stroyed in the Paradise Camp Fire. Th ere are four collection jars in the community located at the Cottage Grove Sentinel offi ce, Dirt Cheap Copies, the UPS Store and Th e Bookmine. Th e American Heritage Girls is a faith-based, character building, and service oriented organization for girls from the ages 5 to 17. Th e Cottage Grove troop sponsor is the local VFW chap- ter, and is is meeting at the VFW Hall, 3160 Hillside Dr., on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Th e Senior Pastor at Para- dise Foursquare Church, Chris Hines, said Walmart, Target, gas, Winco and Visa cards are best for helping the California wildfi re victims. He also said GoFundMe ac- counts are not the best route at this time since it can take away from FEMA federal assistance. All cash donated by our community will be turned into one of the recommended cards and sent down in three batches leading up to Christmas. Many churches in the Par- adise area are stepping up for immediate needs for the many people in their community, regardless if they are church members. Many victims are able to re- ceive immediate need but the impact of the devastating fi res is ongoing. For more information, con- tact Sandy Camerat 541-942- 6417.
