CA Wildfires - Resources for LA County

Our prayers and thoughts are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones as a result of the fires. Sadly we have several LA County cities, communities, and most importantly thousands of individuals who have been impacted by these fires through loss of property---family homes, businesses, schools and so much more. 

Our Village must come together to provide support and resources and make space for those in need. It will certainly take some time for Altadena, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades and other impacted areas of Los Angeles county to recover but we will work together to help families to find safe spaces, healing, and comfort.

Please see below for available resources:
