How Disaster Led to Sharing and Rebuilding focuses on how the Almeda Drive Fire forever changed the small towns in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley and the Harry & David family. Through sharing resources and interviews with residents and first responders, we’re dedicated to helping those affected by the wildfire that destroyed over 2,000 homes in our local community.Almeda Drive Fire, ![Practice makes perfect](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harryanddavid.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F01%2Fclothes-donations-after-the-almeda-fire.jpg&w=1920&q=75)
