Somebody Cares America is responding the horrific wildfires ravaging California.  We are helping Restoration Life Church in Lawndale, California, reach out to firefighters, law enforcement, and others who are responding to the fires around Los Angeles. And we are mobilizing resources to help those who have lost homes and possessions once it is safe to do so.

At this writing, one of our longtime partners who is on the ground reported that, as of this writing, the Pacific Palisades fire is only 8% contained, the Eaton fire is only 3% contained, and several other fires are raging almost unabated. At least 10 fatalities have been confirmed with more than 11,000 structures damaged or destroyed.

“A priority right now is supporting first responders, which include law enforcement, fire fighters, electrical line workers, and others who are at the forefront of the battle,” said SCA Vice President Jodie Chiricosta. “Every available resource in the area is being drawn upon to stop the blazes from consuming more of the community.”

You Can Help Too!

With your support, we can partner immediately with Restoration Life Church to supply these brave men and women on the frontlines with essential supplies:

  • Cases of Water
  • Gatorade
  • Protein Bars
  • Energy Drinks
  • Hand Wipes
  • Chapstick
  • Cold Towels / Cold Packs

We are also mobilizing aid to help those who have lost their homes and businesses. Many had to flee at a moment’s notice, escaping only with their lives, pets, and the clothes on their backs. There are thousand who had to evacuate and are in need of basic supplies right now – particularly baby care and hygiene items.

“Our partners are also trying to provide pet food and supplies to these traumatized individuals and families,” Jodie said. “Once the fires are under control, they will need more assistance as they figure out how to rebuild their lives.”

Please pray with us that these fires will be extinguished quickly to limit future personal loss; for the protection of our first responders; and for comfort and help for those who have suffered loss.
