OTHER RESOURCES: WILDFIRE RELIEF

The California Wildfires have claimed over 40 lives and left thousands of people homeless leading up to the holidays. If you are interested in helping out those communities, here are some ways to do so:

World Central Kitchen: this is one of my favorite charities. They provide meals to those in need—and have a stellar record of helping in the aftermath of disasters (they’ve served 3.6 million meals in Puerto Rico since last year!) https://www.worldcentralkitchen.org/donate

American Red Cross: The Red Cross is known for helping people and responding to disasters. https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-florence-donations.html/
