Please help us raise funds for the victims of the March 22nd mudslide in Oso, Washington. All monies raised will go directly to those in our community affected by this event. We will be coordinating with recognized community organizations in the Oso/Darrington area to pinpoint what their specific needs are, and distribute funds through those organizations.

Snohomish Boys and Girls Club: Starting NOW, we will be collecting gift cards to donate directly to the families in Oso and Darrington. The most needed are gas cards, grocery cards, VISA type gift cards, and department stores such as Walmart. We are also willing to collect cash and purchase gift cards for you. In order to involve our kids, we will also be sending cards and letters from the kids to both the families and the hero's who are working around the clock during this time.

Please do what you can. Any amount that is meaningful to you is appreciated and will have a powerful impact. If you have questions, please contact me at mvolmer@bgcsc.org or 360-568-7760. I can absolutely assure you that your gift card contribution will be handled appropriately and will make it into the right hands. Cards can be dropped off or mailed to the club at 402 2nd Street, Snohomish, Wa. 98290
