11 Jan Los Angeles Wildfire Fundraisers and Resources
The team here at Greenway Arts Alliance extends our heartfelt sympathies to our community, every friend and neighbor affected by the fires, as well as our sincere appreciation to the first responders.
We are deeply saddened by the widespread devastation caused by the wildfires throughout Los Angeles County. Our hearts are with all that are affected by this tragedy. We wanted to share these two vetted lists for additional support if anyone needs additional support.
- Resources including a list of Evacuation Centers, Food Resources, Animal Shelters, and additional Emergency Resources are listed by 211LA at 211la.org/LA-Wildfires
- Philanthropy California has put together this list of vetted and active funds by philanthropic organizations that are currently responding to the southern California wildfires.
We recognize that this is a time of great need. We hold all who were impacted close and extend our heartfelt wishes for comfort and safety for all.
