Helping Los Angeles County Fire Victims
BonePage invites you to join us as we help Los Angeles County Fire Victims. During and following the wildfires in Los Angeles County of January of 2025, many families are faced with unimaginable loss. Thousands of people have been displaced, tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed and entire communities are reeling from the impact of this tragedy. When the going gets tough, the need for support is urgent, and everyone can help the victims of the disaster to recover and rebuild their lives.
We have made monetary contributions to the California Fire Foundation and Pasadena Humane. We invite our members and visitors to join us in providing much-needed aid to those affected by these tragic events. Unless you are located in or very near Los Angeles County, financial aid is probably the best way most of us can help. Although not a comprehensive list, here are some meaningful ways you can contribute financially or in other ways:

Donate to Trusted Relief Organizations
Several reputable organizations are out on the front lines providing immediate relief to wildfire victims. Donate to any organization that is helping, but remember to research first to be certain your financial contributions will be used as you intended. We recommend you consider donating to these organizations:
- American Red Cross: Offering shelter, food, and emotional support to displaced families. Donate online or call (800) 733-2767, or text REDCROSS to 90999.

No matter how small or large your financial contributions, they will assist in ensuring that victims of these fires receive the help they need.
Provide Essential Supplies
If you are in or near Los Angeles County, you can help by providing essential items such as:
- Non-perishable food and bottled water
- Blankets and warm clothing
- Toiletries and hygiene products
- Pet supplies for displaced animals
Many local shelters and donation centers are accepting supplies. Contact your nearest relief center to find out what is most urgently needed.
Volunteer Your Time
In a crisis, time and energy are invaluable. Whether it is at a shelter, helping to distribute supplies or just being a listener, your time and kindness can be most useful. Contact the Red Cross or other local area volunteer organizations to ask how you can help.
Offer Temporary Housing
The need for housing is at a critical point. Many people have found themselves suddenly without housing — many with only the clothes on their back. If you have a spare room in your house, you may want to consider putting your house up on Airbnb to help people who have been affected by the wildfires. Airbnb and some other platforms have set up programs that help hosts with wildfire victims in need of a place to stay.
Support Animal Rescue Efforts
Fire affects not only humans but also hundreds of thousands of pets and wildlife. Organizations such as Pasadena Humane are working hard to catch and care for the animals affected by the fire. Your financial donations as well as pet food, crates and blankets will be helpful in caring for the large number of rescued and injured animals.

Spread the Word
Spreading the word is one of the most simple, yet most effective ways to help. Share this BonePage blog article and the LA Times article linked below. Share information about relief efforts on social media, encourage friends and family to donate and stay informed about ongoing needs in the affected areas. The more people that know about the crisis the more people will respond.
