The Los Angeles regional division is still identifying what resources will be needed in the coming days to support evacuees, said Mimi Teller, development communications manager for the Red Cross Los Angeles Region, but there are already a number of ways to support the organization’s efforts

How you can help: You can support the Red Cross by making a donation online, by calling (800) 733-2767 or texting REDCROSS to 90999.

If you wish to volunteer with the Red Cross, Teller said participants must go through training before they can assist. You can register to become a volunteer online.

California Fire Foundation
What it does: The foundation is working with local fire agencies and community organizations to support residents impacted by the blazes.

An online monetary donation to the California Fire Foundation Wildfire and Disaster Relief Fund directly supports victims of wildfires and disasters throughout California, including the L.A. County area.

GoFundMe​

What it does: GoFundMe has created a centralized online hub housing all verified fundraising pages related to the wildfires. The hub will be updated with accounts as they are verified by the GoFundme team.

At the top of the hub is also GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund 2025.

How you can help: You can donate to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Monetary donations help deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by fires. The GoFundMe team identifies verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising either for themselves or on someone else’s behalf. The team may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, or to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.

You can also look through the verified fundraiser accounts on the hub and choose an account to help directly.
