“Today’s event is largely centered around food for people being here 1 – 3  with their massive truckload of food, water and supplies. Pay it forward. Humboldt and Dream quests are here every day, 10 – 6. We have food, water, blankets, personal hygiene supplies, games. Dog food. Cat food. Fresh coffee. Warm cookies,” said Trish Oakes, the Executive Director of Dream Quest.

Many residents who were evacuated or impacted by the wildfires visited the food distribution site today.
