Donations

Los Angeles County is seeing an overwhelming outpouring of generosity from the public looking to assist our fellow residents who have been displaced or suffered devastating losses from these fires.

At the same time, we understand that the avalanche of goods being dropped off—particularly unsolicited donations– is well beyond what many charitable organizations can process at this time.

LA County is working with our public and private partners to triage the flow of generous and well-intended support, and to develop systems to identify the most urgently needed items and get them to the people who need them in the most effective way we can.

We are developing a one-stop portal to help members of the public and the business community connect with a new fire relief fund that is currently being established to help direct donations large and small where they can have the greatest impact.

Until then, the best way to help is to make a monetary contribution to a verified, reputable charitable organization such as those listed on the website Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA.)

The network includes recognized disaster relief organizations, such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the California Community Foundation, which are the fastest, most flexible and most effective method of donating. Visit ENLA.org, email info@enla.org or call (424) 421-4349
