resources
Recovery starts small.
You do not have to walk it alone.
We are not a direct service provider, but we have gathered trusted resources to help families rebuild after wildfire.
Whether you are looking for housing, financial support, mental health help, or a safe place for your pets, the links below are here to get you started. We’ll continue to add more as we grow.
Note: We focus on trusted nonprofit and community organizations. Some resources are independent nonprofits; others are nonprofit/government partnerships created to support disaster survivors.
