San Andreas, CA…A $50,000 grant from the California Endowment was given to Calaveras Recovers recently through the Amador Community Foundation, which is the fiscal sponsor of the local group dedicated to recovery from the Butte Fire. In April, concrete foundations were poured for the first two homes being built by Calaveras Recovers for the uninsured survivors of last year’s Butte Fire. Licensed general building contractors and specialty contractors such as plumbing, electrical, sheet rock, roofing and painting contractors are encouraged to join up with Calaveras Recovers, by attending a meeting such as next Monday, May 2, 2016 at the LDS Church in San Andreas.

An estimated 80 homes are needed to be built for the uninsured. Monetary donations can be made directly on the group’s website, www.CalaverasRecovers.org. Donations of time or materials may be offered via email to info@CalaverasRecovers.org. Public meetings for all groups working on recovery from the Butte Fire are always held the first Monday of the month at 9 a.m. at the Church of Latter Day Saints in San Andreas.

WHO WE ARE
Calaveras Recovers is the Long-Term Recovery Team composed of local leaders and volunteers recognized by federal, state and county agencies as the primary resource to assist homeowners who either could not afford or could not acquire insurance in a high risk area. By partnering with local non-profit organizations, businesses, faith-based groups and others we will assist in providing resources to rebuild homes and lives.

OUR MISSION
Calaveras Recovers is the post-disaster coordination of resources to provide support and guidance to those individuals and families devastated by the Butte Fire regional disaster, whose recovery needs are not met by insurance or government aid programs.
