Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastating fires affecting communities across Southern California. The road to recovery will be long and challenging, but it is also an opportunity for us to share Christ’s love and light with those in need.

Having faced wildfires ourselves here in the mountains, we deeply understand the fear and destruction these communities are experiencing. Together, we can extend compassion and support during this critical time.

To help those impacted, you can contribute through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), a trusted organization specializing in long-term disaster recovery. A fund has been established specifically for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. If you feel called to assist, there are three ways to give:

1. Write a check to LACPC with “2025 PDA Fire Relief” in the memo. We will forward your donation to PDA.
2. Donate directly to PDA online at this link. To ensure your gift supports wildfire recovery, write “Wildfires DR000165” in the comment box.
3. Write a check to LACPC with “Fire Relief” in the memo. These funds will be directed toward specific fire relief efforts in the affected areas. 

Let us come together in prayer and action, trusting in God’s grace as we support our neighbors in this time of need.
