Warm Coat and Heavy Blanket Drive

.

The District 2 office is collaborating with the Food Bank of El Dorado County and the Shingle Springs/Cameron Park Chamber of Commerce to promote a "Warm Coat and Heavy Blanket Drive" to collect warm coats and heavy blankets for Caldor Fire survivors as they face difficult conditions. Winter weather is an added struggle for residents living in temporary housing. Both organizations are accepting warm coat or heavy blanket donations in an effort to keep residents warm in the cold months ahead. Please consider making a donation of new or gently used items to one of these locations:

For over 20 years the Food Bank of El Dorado County has helped our neighbors who struggle to make ends meet.

In addition to the Emergency Food Assistance Network, they have also started a Commodity Supplemental Food Program for seniors over 60, free farmer’s market events, and the No Vet Goes Hungry Program. The Food Bank welcomes visitors and volunteers who want to help feed people, and there are other ways to give help as well.

El Dorado Water Agency Event

El Dorado Water Agency (EDWA) has put forward a Stormwater Resource Initiative recognizing the interconnection of various water management challenges and the importance of integrated, multi-benefit projects. This understanding and subsequent approach helps address many water resource challenges in El Dorado County, including reducing the water supply-demand imbalance, reducing localized flooding, improving water quality, and providing environmental protection and habitat enhancement.

 

Programmatic Watershed Plan

EDWA partnered with Cameron Park CSD and El Dorado Hills CSD respectively to facilitate Cameron Park drainage improvements. The drainage improvements will address the occurrence of critical flooding due to inadequate and aging infrastructure, clean clogged ditches and drains, and add infrastructure to areas that experience critical flooding. El Dorado County and El Dorado Water Agency are working together to provide greater safety with storm-water drainage and low-level flooding. The improvements to Cameron Park drainage will enhance the quality of life for all residents. Stay up to date on all EDWA activities through their newsroom or social media.
