February 2025 Reach Out

Support California Wildfire first responders and impacted families

Fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, wildfires erupted on January 7 and roared across the Los Angeles area, killing at least 28 people. Over 200,000 people were under evacuation orders as crews tried to battle back the fires. The fires have destroyed entire neighborhoods and blocks, leaving an unknown number of people homeless. The insured losses from the fires may exceed $20 billion, and total economic losses could reach $50 billion!

 First Church Outreach team responding to the need has chosen to donate to the UCC’s California Wildfire 2025 appeal and The World Central Kitchen to support first responders and families impacted by wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
