Your support of those affected by the California wildfires is truly invaluable. The most effective way to help our Red Cross disaster relief efforts is by making a financial donation. You can do this by texting ‘CAWILDFIRES’ to 90999 or visiting redcross.org/donate.
While we appreciate the thoughtfulness behind donating physical items like clothing, sorting and distributing these takes time and resources away from providing immediate assistance. Financial donations help us provide food, shelter, relief supplies, emotional support, health services, spiritual care and financial assistance, as well as supporting the vehicles, warehouses and people who make that help possible.
If you’d like to donate physical items, we encourage you to call 211 to connect with organizations that specialize in this work.
