Beyond the boarders of our small, beachside community, other fires continue to devastate local communities. The County of Los Angeles provides critical updates, information, and summaries of all of the activity going on related to this regional crisis.
It is important to note that most agencies and organizations working to put out the fires and provide help to those displaced are not currently accepting any in-kind donations including food, clothes, or beverages. As this dynamic situation continues to unfold, there will be more opportunities to collect and distribute i-kind donations and services. At this time, the most impactful way to help those in need is through monetary contributions to organizations with the infrastructure to get those funds to those in need quickly and efficiently.
