About this Giving Opportunity

Five dangerous wildfires, including the destructive Palisades fire, are burning in Los Angeles County. Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, the wildfires have burned more than 5,000 acres and destroyed more than 1,000 buildings. Two people have died and there are a high number of serious injuries. More than 50,000 people are under evacuation orders. There is a state of emergency for affected areas and there are risks that the situation could worsen.

Parts of Los Angeles County have received no significant rainfall in months. The very dry conditions, and winds of up to 100 miles per hour, are driving the rapid spread of the fires, and complicating the heroic efforts of firefighters.
