Raising Money for California Fires

LOS ANGELES - Nov. 22, 2018 - Amzeal -- Raising Money for California Fires

Three major wildfires – Camp, Woolsey, and Hill – have engulfed the state of California.
Camp Fire, in the northern part of the state, has destroyed more than 6,700 structures and killed at least 31 people with more than 200 people still missing making it California's most destructive wildfire and third deadliest in history. The blaze also consumed most of Paradise, a town north of Sacramento. In Southern California, firefighters estimate that more than the 300,000 people have been forced to evacuate from their homes because of the Woolsey and Hill fires. As the wildfires continue to rage, those looking to help can support those suffering from the devastation in a number of ways. Here are some local, regional, and national American organizations seeking help with relief efforts.

Organizations We will be working with include:

American Red Cross workers have set up temporary shelters and food sites across California. Donate to the efforts by visiting redcross.org or texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 USD donation. Donors can even specifically request their monies go towards California relief efforts by writing the specific disaster name in the memo line of a check made out to the organization.

California Fire Foundation is a statewide nonprofit organization that is working to get fast funds to everyone effected through its SAVE program, where frontline firefighters are given prepaid Mastercards to distribute to victims who often didn't have time to pack everything they needed before they were forced to evacuate. With it, they can get necessities like food, a change of clothes, or pay for somewhere to stay.
