Currently, there are three major wildfires burning in California – Camp in Northern California and Woosley and Hill in Southern California. The flames have engulfed endless acres and displaced families, animals, and wildlife from their homes. Due to continued strong winds, these fires are far from being extinguished; communities, families, and firefighters are in need of resources and donations.
As some of the most destructive wildfires in California, they are in need of support. Below please find regional and local organizations that you can contribute relief efforts to help these communities.
