We review each request individually and prioritize based on need — especially those without insurance, with children, or in temporary housing.
Q: How are kits being distributed right now?
A: We’re distributing kits on a rolling basis, prioritizing those most impacted by the fires. After you apply, someone from our team will reach out if a kit is available. Supplies are limited right now, but we’re actively working to expand access.
