How You Can Help People Affected by Northern California Fires

The wildfires burning across Northern California are among the deadliest and most destructive in state history. We asked local shelters and charities what they needed most, and the overwhelming answer was monetary donations.

PLEASE DONATE TO THE WINE COUNTRY RELIEF FUND

With this fund, 100% of donations will be given to nonprofit North Bay Fire Recovery Fund to distribute directly to families and individuals suffering losses not covered by insurance. You can also see additional ways to help monetarily, or with supplies, or as a volunteer down below on this page.
