The Pawnee Fire has taken a toll, and created a great many needs in our community. In response, the Lake County Department of Social Services is working with local non-profit agencies, County and State organizations to provide a one-stop Local Assistance Center (LAC) for those impacted by the Pawnee Fire.

The LAC will be open from 9:00am-7:00pm, Thursday and Friday, June 28th & 29th, and 10:00am – 3:00pm Saturday June 30th at the Spring Valley Community Center, located at 3000 Wolf Creek Road in Spring Valley.

A wide-ranging array of services and expertise will be available. Some of the organizations that will be present include: American Red Cross, North Coast Opportunities, United Methodist Church, Lake County Animal Control, Behavioral Health, Social Security Administration, Social Services, Habitat for Humanity, and Hope Animal Response to name a few.

If you need food, assistance accessing medical care, come to the LAC. If you have concerns about your animals, debris removal or even insurance matters, there will be people on site at the LAC to help. If you need replacement copies of vital records, or a new driver’s license, come to the LAC. All of these organizations will be there to help make profoundly complicated situations a little bit easier, and offer some of the first building blocks of successful long-term recovery.
