How to support those impacted by Los Angeles Wildfires

Los Angeles and its surrounding areas have been devastated by catastrophic wildfires, resulting in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, the tragic loss of more than 25 lives, and the destruction of tens of thousands of structures. In the face of such widespread tragedy, the strength of community support is more vital than ever.

If you are looking to contribute to organizations addressing the needs of those affected, we recommend the following groups working to provide relief and recovery services:

  • 211 Los Angeles provides a comprehensive helpline connecting residents to essential health and human services, including disaster preparedness and emergency response information.
  • Direct Relief’s California Fire Relief provides N-95 masks, medicine, and resources to health-care agencies and first responders in areas affected by wildfires.
  • The California Community Foundation has a Wildfire Recovery Fund dedicated providing critical contributions to an array of critical recovery services including housing, case management, mental health, and medical care for displaced residents.

 

Thank you for considering ways to support the recovery efforts for this devastating catastrophe.
