Fueled by drought conditions and record-breaking winds, catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles have displaced over 179,000 people and claimed at least ten lives. Two fires have already broken the record as the most destructive in L.A. history.1
Today, we’re asking for you to join us in supporting two organizations working around the clock to provide emergency housing and relief services to displaced families and refugees across L.A. County.2
Covering roughly 45 square miles, emergency workers have exhausted nearly 3 million gallons of water reserved in storage tanks around the city since the fires started Tuesday morning.3 We will keep you informed as more on this develops.
• World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Southern California to support first responders and families impacted by wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Their teams have mobilized across the region to provide immediate food relief with nutritious meals and water to people displaced by evacuation or fire.
• United Way of Greater Los Angeles is working to provide longer-term support to the tens of thousands of Los Angelenos impacted by the wildfires, through direct outreach and in tandem with other community organizations.
Our hearts are with those who lost loved ones in the fires, and all those impacted.
Together, we will help this community make it out of this stronger.
Thank you,
Team AOC
