I have no adequate words to describe the horrific disaster Los Angeles is currently facing. The devastating fires in Los Angeles have impacted thousands of individuals, families and businesses.

Below are links to some of the organizations to which you can donate in support of those affected by the fires:

American Red Cross: Shelter, food, emotional support, and health services for displaced residents.

Los Angeles Regional Food Bank: Distributing meals and resources to wildfire survivors.

World Central Kitchen: Providing fresh meals to displaced families and first responders.

United Way of Greater Los Angeles: Supporting long-term recovery efforts and providing immediate response resources.

SAMHSA Disaster Distress Helpline: Mental health and counseling support resource.

California Fire Foundation: supporting firefighters’ families, and anyone else impacted by the fires

Anti-Recidivism Firefighter Fund: supporting incarcerated firefighters battling the Los Angeles wildfires.

Pasadena Senior Center: Providing resources and support for senior citizens affected by the Eaton fire
