In response to my post from last week, a number of readers and friends sent in links for supporting people who have lost homes in the fires in Southern California. There are a number of ways to make a difference whether you’re in California or anywhere else in the world. But if you have a bit of money to spare, it could go a long way here.

First of all, there are a number of organizations providing relief every day that could use your support. This includes the American Red Cross, which has set up a California wildfires campaign, the World Central Kitchen, which is providing meals for the displaced, and the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, which is supporting the incarcerated firefighters at work throughout the area.

In no particular order, here is a list of families and organizations affected by the fires who could use support. I’ve linked to their GoFundMe campaigns.

• Wendy Lallas, Altadena

• The Frazier Family, Pacific Palisades

• The Bunny Museum, Altadena

• Jill and Larry McDonald, Altadena

• Katie O'Neill, Pacific Palisades

• Clove Galilee and Jenny Rogers

• Ruti, Augie & Isaiah, Eaton

• Nicole, Mike, and Eamon, Altadena

• The Parkhurst-Wear Family, Topanga Canyon

• The Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center, Pasadena

• Also, here is a list of GoFundMe campaigns for affected Black families in Altadena

If you know of others, please alert me and I’ll post updates when I can.
