Paradise Fire

The level of need here in Chico/ Paradise area is greater than anyone of us can wrap our minds around.  God’s grace has been manifested in ways beyond explanation.  Got Hope Inc. has been privileged to administer a large distribution center in Chico.  We have employed over 600 volunteers and served over two thousand survivors supplying necessary items for survival and recovery.  After moving into into an empty 60,000 sq. Toy’s R Us building and distributing over 1.5 million dollars of supplies to over 2,000 Camp Fire survivors,  we are now shifting from a Distribution Center to an Equipping Center.   This is due to the reality of transitioning from the response phase of the disaster to the recovery phase.

We have secured a location off of Skyway blvd, the main entrance to Paradise at the base of the mountain on the way to Paradise.  For those thousands of suvivors coming up Skyway blvd to visit their property, we are setting up a an Equipping Center to provide a narrower range of items.  Hygiene buckets with bibles, gift cards, water and few select items will be provided.  We will be present to comfort and share the hope of Christ to survivors.  We are arranging high speed Internet at that location for survivors to use as well.

Over 40 Churches are working together in unprecedented ways here in Chico for the best results in expanding the foot print of the Gospel in this recovery and restoration process.
