CALM needs to have a variety of different supplies on hand because we never know from year to year what we will need. Some years we see a lot of burns, while others involve roll-over accidents on the road Home. We have treated heart attacks and diabetic shock, seizures and jungle rot, broken ankles and pains in the necks (ahem). Wingnuts? Yep, we treat em. A stick stuck in your foot because you really, really want to walk barefoot at night? Yep, we treat that, too.
By getting donations early, we are able to be savvy Internet shoppers and get the best value for supplies. Once we are on the land, we have to purchase from pharmacies, with costs that are 3x what they are online.
WHAT CAN BE DONE? Donate money to our PayPal or WePay account at the bottom of this message. Give cash or a check to one of the CALM bankers. Every $10, $20, $50 and $100 donation helps immensely. I can assure you that all of them can be trusted as they all put in way more money into supplies then they get back. Please do not bring in your old prescription medications, homemade tinctures or unlabeled herbs. We cannot distribute prescriptions, and tinctures end up unused unless they are made by a known and trusted source.
If you have supplies that you would like to donate, please check with us first as they may not be what we really need. If you plan to bring supplies, check with us first by sending an email to CALM or AGR to make sure that this is something that we can use. If you use FaceBook, there's a CALM page there as well.
If you want to donate something material, we need batteries! AA non-rechargeable are best. We rely heavily on radio communications and with radios being always-on 24-hours a day for 2 weeks, we go through a lot of AA batteries. Remember the helicopter evacuation in Pennsylvania 2010 the morning of the 4th? That was made possible through radio communications relayed from person-to-person and then via a call to Emergency Responders.
And finally, CALM could always use Builders! We start serving the health needs of the Family as soon as we leave our homes which means that we are often so busy, it’s hard to find time and energy to put up a tarp or to make benches. Please stop by and plug in!
The healers are here to serve the Family. Let’s have a kind and safe Gathering!

Please keep your comments to the point. Any comments advocating violence, sexism or racism will not be published. You don't have to agree with me, but you can't cuss me or anyone else out either. As of 6/11/15 I'm not sure how I will be publishing comments. Too many people just submitting the same comment over and over again and I'm overwhelmed by trying to sort this out. So feel free to comment, but understand I may not be approving all comments.
