The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has established a Wildfire Victims Emergency Relief Fund to help the victims of the recent wildfires. There will be a special second collection in the month of January at parishes in the Archdiocese for the fund to provide grants for food, clothing, and other needs due to the recent wildfires. Anyone who would like to donate to help our brothers and sisters who are suffering because of the fires, please contribute to the second collection for the Wildfire Victims Emergency Relief Fund or directly online at: https://lacatholics.org/california-fires/. Requests for assistance will be made through your local parish and the funds will be provided as a one-time grant to those in need effective immediately. Thank you for your support to help those who are suffering and have lost so much through these devastating events. Let us continue to offer our prayers for all who have been impacted by the wildfires and for the first responders and all volunteers who are on the front lines.

Interested in Volunteering?
Please note that since many volunteers have turned their actions towards wildfire assistance, all other volunteer opportunities are stretched thin.
