Many in the community are accepting donations of money and goods for the victims of the landslide.

They will be accepting donations for gas cards funds for the families affected by the landslide.

They said they are not accepting food or clothing donations right now, instead focusing on the community's need of gas cards.

• Arlington resident Sarah Young has started a Facebook group called Help for the mudslide victims of Snohomish County.

Mukilteo Beacon reader Donna Martz said she and Young belong to another group on Facebook and saw that Young was collecting and delivering supplies.

“Sarah started taking things up to Darrington on Sunday,” said Martz. “Sarah is from Arlington, and her mother lives up the mountain from the slide. Her family has a long affiliation with the volunteer firefighters. This is a private group that is donating directly. Sarah is coordinating with the rescue site, and is working under their directions.”
