LAKE COUNTY—The Lake County Holiday Fund is now accepting donations at any branch of Umpqua or West America banks. These donations go toward the purchase of food for residents of Lake County only, and are much appreciated by all who receive them.
This season, due to the coronavirus, the recipients got gift cards to either Foods, Etc in Clearlake, or Bruno’s Shop Smart, in Lakeport, depending on their address.
Last year the donations were a bit shy of where they had been in years past, mostly due to the loss of income and residents due to the fires we have suffered through. All are hopeful that we might be able to collect a reasonable amount this season to use for next year.
Anyone who donates may write a dedication, if desired, and the information will be printed in the Record Bee. Some of the recent donations are as follow:
- $5,000 Merry Christmas from Gaylord Starin
- $2,500 in memory of Bill Van Pelt from Clearlake Lava Inc.
- $230 anonymous
- $500 from Bob Bartley Pump Inc.
- $100 in memory of Sterling, Delle and Steve Ananos from Mike Anano’s family
- $40 anonymous
- $200 from Stephen J and Carol Schepper in loving memory of our parents
- $100 from Victoria Engel
- $200 anonymous
