A grass-roots community organization dedicated to providing goods, services and information to survivors of the Old Fire in the San Bernardino Mountains

Mountain Friends & Neighbors is an organization that has mobilized out of concern and compassion for the people in our mountain communities who have lost homes or businesses.  We believe the need is urgent and immediate for us to help heal the devastation caused by the recent wildfires.  We have no political, religious, social or philosophical affiliation.  Our mission is to come together to help those in our community whose lives have been so severely impacted by the fires.

We are asking for donations of new or gently used clothing, household items, gift certificates, cash or services which will be distributed directly to the mountain survivors of the Old Fire Any cash donations received will be used to purchase gift cards at retailers such as Target, Home Depot and Wal-Mart.  

An event to facilitate the distribution of your generous donations will be held the weekend of November 21 - 23 from 9am-4pm daily at the Lake Arrowhead Community Presbyterian Church in Lake Arrowhead:  351 S. State Hwy 173 (next to the fire station, across from 7-11).  There will be a donation station at the church staffed from 10am-2pm on these datesWed. 11/12, Thurs. 11/13, Fri. 11/14, Sat 11/15 (10am-4pm this day), Mon. 11/17, Tues. 11/18, and Wed. 11/19.

Our intention is to operate without incurring any expenses and give 100% of donations directly to those in need.

“Operation Provider” has very graciously agreed to process checks we may receive for this specific event.  Checks should be made payable to "Operation Provider" with a note in the memo section saying "MFN" to ensure the funds go directly to support our event.  Drop off (call 909-336-6264 for directions) donations of funds or gift cards (in $25 increments) so that they are received by 11/18  to:
