Help us compile a list of needs & resources for our neighbors in Los Angeles
Five major fires in Los Angeles continue to be devastating on a historic scale. As of today, it is estimated that over 11 people have been killed and 37,000 acres have been burned. In Altadena alone, 6,500 buildings have been damaged or destroyed and another 4,000 in Pacific Palisades.
Los Angeles is our neighbor. As residents of North San Diego County, many OSC members have friends and family in the L.A. area who are suffering and displaced by this disaster. Like the fires themselves, the scale of relief efforts will be extraordinary. We are compiling a list of needs and resources, so that we can begin to help as soon as possible.
where to give Donations
Week of Compassion

Our Disciples Pacific South West Region, along with several local congregations, is connected with SoCal VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) and the county VOAD organizations. 100% of your donations to Week of Compassion designated “California Wildfires 2025” will go directly to assist disaster-affected communities, both in immediate relief efforts and in ongoing recovery.
The American Red Cross
The American Red Cross provides services to more than 10 million residents in 88 cities across Los Angeles County, as well as parts of Ventura County and Kern County. Monetary donations also help to support their two emergency shelters for people impacted by the Palisades fire.
