LA Wildfires - Ways to Help Displaced People and Firefighting Efforts

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hi all,

I was planning on sending out my very first newsletter this week. That said, given the wildfires in Los Angeles County, I wanted to put a pause on that and send a short note with some organizations accepting monetary donations.

These groups support firefighting efforts, as well as those displaced by the fires:

LAFD Foundation - donations help provide first responders with critical resources needed to battle the fires
GoFundMe Wildfire Relief Fund - donations are dispersed by GoFundMe directly to people affected by the wildfires to help their recovery
California Fire Foundation - this foundation works with fire agencies and community organizations to provide financial support to people impacted by the fires

Additionally, for those in and around the Los Angeles area, the LAFD has posted this list with organizations accepting donations of non-perishable food items and other essential goods. Fire stations in LA are currently overflowing with physical donations, and they’ve asked for donations to be directed to these organizations.

Thanks, and to those in LA, stay safe!
