The wildfires currently ravaging the greater Los Angeles area have forced nearly 180,000 people to evacuate their homes, leaving many with only the belongings they could carry. The fires in Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Sylmar, and Hollywood Hills have destroyed countless homes and businesses, displacing thousands of men, women, and children. These communities are in dire need of food, shelter, and essential necessities.

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fresno stands in solidarity with our sister organization, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, as they provide critical disaster relief to those affected by this crisis. Through their Disaster Relief Fund, your donation will go directly to supporting those in need, providing food, water, toiletries, hotel vouchers, and other vital services to displaced residents.
