Five buildings were full of about 60 vendors, said Andrea Curry, who organized the vari- ous booths that included health services, various government agencies from local and state levels. LIFT stands for Live In- spired For Tomorrow and was formed as a combination of Re- cycle the Warmth, which is in its 31st year of assisting peo- ple in getting warm clothing, and Project Homeless Connect, which was started to help give those in need one place to get various services. Tehama County Clerk and Re- corder Jennifer Vise said her de- partment was getting birth cer- tificates and they had 65 people by 11 a.m. who had come to the booth seeking help with about half being local. Representa- tives at the DMV booth said there were about 30 that had been served while Social Secu- rity had helped about 50 people in just the first two hours of the event. "Thisroomismagic,"LIFTTe- hama Chairwoman Gail Locke said of the government services building. "It's a one-stop shop to connect people with the re- sources they need. Every year more and more people find out about it and it grows." Several people Locke talked to were in need of a birth certif- icate to get DMV identification cards and to be able to get a So- cial Security card. "These are the papers they need to get a job or to start their trip toward getting an educa- tion," Locke said. Buildings were split into five areas of government, health, clothing, services and a place to eat as lunch was provided for free as part of the event. The vi- sion booth, Recycle the Warmth and pets booth were some of the busier booths, Locke said. At one booth in the services event, Debbie King of the Sac- ramento River Discovery Cen- ter was giving away vegetable plants including green beans, cabbage, lettuce and swiss chard. At another hairstylists like Helena Winters and Liz Johnson of Shear-N-Dipity were giving haircuts. Car seat checks were done out in front of the fairground entrance without any penal- ties thanks to an Office of Traf- fic Safety Grant in a partnership between the California Highway Patrol and the Tehama County Health Services Agency. Car seat laws are changing on Jan. 1 and they wanted to help not only in checking for safety of current seat situations, but also to spread awareness of the new law and upcoming classes, said Public Health Educator Theron Hurlbert.
