LA COUNTY WILDFIRES
How you can help during the Los Angeles wildfires
Gently used or like-new clothing can truly make a difference for those impacted by the fires. Don’t forget sheets and towels—these essentials are often overlooked and should be new or freshly laundered before donating.
Collect and donate food items to assist those facing new food insecurities in Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Many Angelinos have lost their neighborhoods, including pharmacies and general stores, making it difficult to access these essential products.
