Hygiene Supplies for West Oakland Senior Center


Firefighters from Station 3 participate in the city's Senior Escort Program and assist seniors from the senior center one block from their fire station by taking them on walks. Eric Payne found out the seniors have to pay for their own hygiene supplies. He put in a request with Random Acts who obtained 72 hygiene kits from Airline Ambassadors and more hygiene donations from Safeway. Eric Payne, Darin White and the crew from Station 3 distributed the hygiene supplies in the presence of representatives from the city's Life Enrichment program. Bettye Burns from Admin assisted in the distribution.
