Southern California Fires

In January 2025, wildfires in Los Angeles raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life. The Archewell Foundation has made donations to several impactful organizations, providing immediate support to those affected by the fires.

We will continue to uplift and support those most in need. For ways to get involved please see below:

Support

Organizations such as José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen, which has been a longtime partner of The Archewell Foundation, serves meals to both first responders and victims of the fire. 

CAL FIRE and LA Fire Department Foundation and others work closely to support firefighters who risk their lives, bravely showing up in these high-risk environments to help save homes, families, and communities in need.

Animal Wellness Foundation is continuing to house and care for animals evacuated by the fires while Compton Cowboys is providing emergency transportation services for horses. 

Airbnb and 211LA have partnered to provide free, temporary housing for those who have been displaced.

Baby2baby provides essential supplies including diapers, clothing, hygiene products, and emergency kits to families in need.

All Power Books has redirected efforts to distribute essential PPE and air purifiers to those living in areas impacted by the fires.  

Open your home 

If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating. 

Give back 

Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys & clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.
