Guide to Helping LA Fire Recovery

SUPPORT PEOPLE & ANIMALS IN NEED

Our hearts were heavy as devastating wildfires swept through pockets of Los Angeles County, displacing both people and animals. In times like these, compassion and action are needed most. We’ve curated a comprehensive list of trusted organizations working tirelessly to bring aid, shelter, and relief to those affected. Your support can make an immediate and lasting impact. You'll also find a guide to California's lodging industry, which has come together to share discounted rates with LA's fire victims. 

Here, you can find LA County's list of evacuation orders, human and animal shelters, family assistance centers, and more.
