The Salvation Army is providing much needed assistance to several Southern California communities due to recent devastating wildfires and Santa Ana winds.
As communities across Southern California are overwhelmed by fast-moving wildfires, The Salvation Army is ramping up its efforts to care for survivors displaced from their homes, temporary evacuees, and emergency responders with meals and emotional/spiritual care.
As the number of fires multiply and expand, The Salvation Army is coming alongside its neighbors in need, mobilizing their teams to serve those affected in the emergency shelters tonight and for the days and needs to come.
As of Jan. 8, The Salvation Army has been deployed to serve meals, support the shelters, and offer spiritual and emotional care at American Red Cross operated evacuation shelters in the following three locations:
El Camino Real Charter High School, 5440 Valley Circle Blvd, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 Westwood Recreation Center, 1350 S Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025 Ritchie Valens Recreation Center, 10736 Laurel Canyon Blvd, Pacoima, CA 91331In addition, The Salvation Army in Southern California has 13 emergency vehicles ready for deployment upon government partner request, including 6 mobile kitchens, 5 transit vans, and 2 shower trailers.
Wednesday night’s The Salvation Army San Diego assisted 59 residents affected by high Santa Ana winds and SDG&E power shutoffs by providing hotel accommodations. We are partnering with SDG&E and 2-1-1 to provide hotel rooms through Saturday. This emergency relief ensures those impacted have a safe place to stay during a difficult time.
The Salvation Army will need the help and support of the community to continue providing emergency response and long-term relief. To find more information on how to donate and help, please visit: salarmy.us/socalfire
