Dear LFI Community,
In light of the ongoing fires, we have compiled several lists to support our community during this difficult time. These include resources for those in need, as well as opportunities for those who are able to help—whether through volunteering, donating, or other forms of assistance.
The lists feature links shared by various individuals and organizations, offering a range of ways to support those affected. While we cannot independently verify the details of each opportunity, we encourage you to explore them thoughtfully and contribute in ways that resonate with you. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can create a meaningful impact.
Before getting involved, please visit the respective websites to learn more about specific roles, donation details, training requirements, and any necessary applications. Your participation will help foster recovery and resilience in our Los Angeles community during this challenging time.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
Warm regards,
LFI Staff
