HOLY FIRE EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND
Our heartfelt thoughts go out to our partners, friends, and everyone affected by the Holy Fire. We are also honored and humbled by the incredible and dedicated response of our County team to the fire events impacting Riverside County.
The Holy Fire has burned over 35 square miles, required the evacuation of over 7,000 homes and 20,000 residents. The fire is roughly 59% contained with upwards of 1,500 firefighters battling the fire. The heroic efforts of our first responders have limited the fire to only impacting 16 structures to date.
United Way of the Inland Valleys has set up the Holy Fire Fund to assist victims displaced or significantly affected by the fire. To make a gift please

2018 HISTORIC SYMPOSIUM: ONTARIO - OCT 23
By: Karen Watkins, Section Historian
For many of us, Autumn, or as some say Fall, brings fond memories of changing colors across the landscape, falling leaves, and the most fun of raking the yard into a pile of leaves to jump in (no leaf blowers back then)! My favorite foods are from Autumn also...soups, squash, and pumpkin pie!
October brings cooler days (OK, most anything is cooler than the July we just experienced), blue skies and a longing to get outside. Here is your opportunity to join us as we spend time in Ontario learning about the agriculture of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Graber Olive House has been sorting and packing olives in Ontario since 1894. Come visit their historic shop and cannery in a pleasant residential area north of Ontario's business district. Rosalie and her tour guides give us a private tour and we each leave with a tasty can of olives. You may even have time to shop their store before winding your way to
Huerta Del Valle, an urban organic garden providing sustainable community empowerment and health. Lunch will be first on the agenda at noon with an offering of delicious seasonal vegetables and fruits in Maria's homemade recipes. Maria Teresa Alonso, Executive Director, and Arthur Levine, Project Manager, will feed us and share their hopes and dreams for the garden that are already coming to fruition!
The limit for the day is
50 people, so sign up soon.
Cost is $35 including lunch and olives.
More information will be provided as we move closer to the date.
For questions, please call Karen Watkins at 909-387-4218 or email Karen.Watkins@lus.sbcounty.gov.
