Supporting Recovery Efforts in Southern California After Devastating Wildfires

GRoW is providing funding in the wake of recent fires that scorched hundreds of thousands of acres of land and displaced countless families in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.

Southern California is no stranger to wildfires, given its mix of hot weather, dry Santa Ana winds, and drought-like conditions. But December proved to be an especially destructive month: The Thomas Fire burned more than 270,000 acres in Ventura County over the course of two weeks, and the Creek Fire in Sylmar, the Rye Fire in Santa Clarita, and the Skirball Fire in Bel-Air spread throughout Los Angeles County around the same time. Learn how you can support the recovery efforts at the United Way of Ventura County and the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
