KaBOOM! Imagination playground will be set up on Sunday for local children to enjoy. It is an innovative, loose-parts, playground that engage kids in creative play that is physically challenging and collaborative, fulfilling the needs of the whole child.

The Valley Fire is the third most destructive fire in California state history, covering more than 76,000 acres and destroying nearly 2,000 structures, including more than 1,200 homes. The difficult recovery from these fires makes this a frustrating and emotionally draining time for everyone involved. Red Cross mental health volunteers are available to help. Red Cross caseworkers are meeting one-on-one with people to create recovery plans, navigate paperwork and locate help from other agencies. Red Cross is distributing food and relief supplies in the impacted neighborhoods to support people as they return home.
