Collection for Tsunami Survivors

Solano Kids owner Alaina Palega’s family is in American Samoa. Many Samoans have been killed or lost their homes and livelihoods in the deadly tsunami caused by the Indonesian earthquake. Alaina and her staff have set up Solano Kids as a donation drop-off point to help survivors. She has arranged to have all donations shipped every Friday at very low cost directly to American Samoa. Money donations are welcome, as are food, blankets, toiletries and clothing. Details: Solano Kids, 1215 Solano Avenue, 510-524-2410, pelesauma@hotmail.com.
