2025 Wildfires - Nonprofit (VOAD) Resources

After a disaster, people come together to help. To make the most of your contributions, it is important to follow guidelines for donating and volunteering responsibly. Unsolicited donations of goods or services can create unnecessary work for the organizations responding.

If you are looking to VOLUNTEER, please visit the website of our partner organization, LA Works at https://www.laworks.com/2025fires

Please do not self-deploy to disaster areas.

If you are looking to MAKE A DONATION, financial contributions to recognized disaster relief organizations, such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and California Community Foundation, are the fastest, most flexible and most effective method of donating. Organizations on the ground know what items and quantities are needed, often buy in bulk with discounts and, if possible, purchase through businesses local to the disaster, which supports economic recovery.
