CSGDR is a non-profit UA 501 (c) (3) organization. The Gleaners started out in Paradise, CA over 30 years ago, then forced to relocate during the 2018 Camp Fire. After relocating to Oroville, CA we realized the needs for outreach was even bigger than imagined.  We expanded our resources, and extended our hands to the ongoing fire survivors who so desperately need all of our help.

Amongst the many programs we are also providing disaster relief in California, and our neighboring communities.

Fires are burning out of control, and lives are being destroyed. It's no longer a "What If?" but a matter of When? Each day disaster quickly approaches another community. Families who have worked hard to build a lifetime of memories to hand down to generations are gone ~ in an instant. As the dust settles people have nothing left but tears, as they are forced to live in the streets, their vehicles, or crowded into overflowing homes with family and friends.

In California, we have seen horrifying images of men, women, and children fleeing for their lives to escape the swift-moving fires that are torching everything in their path. Jobs are lost, and children's schools are burning to the ground. Everything you once knew or hoped for comes to a screeching halt. There is nothing left but ashes, broken dreams, and hopelessness.
