As many of you know, the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have claimed at least 24 lives and displaced over 180,000 people. In response, Community Outreach is organizing a drive to support relief efforts and is kindly requesting donations to aid those affected. We are partnering with two organizations:
- The LA Fire Department Foundation, which provides essential resources and support to firefighters on the front lines.
- World Central Kitchen, which is delivering meals to individuals and families who have been displaced by the fires.
Throughout this week, we will be collecting donations during lunch, walking around the quads with a QR code, and will set up a table at the boys varsity basketball game on Jan 24 at 7:30pm. Your contributions will directly help those who have lost their homes or been forced to evacuate. Together, we can make a difference in their recovery journey!
