Dear Southeastern California Conference members,

With We continue to keep our sisters and brothers in Los Angeles in prayer in light of the fires and evacuations in Los Angeles county. Southern California Conference is working to mobilize churches within their conference to be used as shelters in the coming days. The needs and availability are still being assessed in the area. Each site will have varying levels of resources available, which include shelter, food, and showers.

Adventist Community Services from both the Pacific Union and North American Division are working with them to support their efforts.

You can contribute your support for those affected by fires within Southeastern California Conference and Southern California Conference by visiting AdventistGiving and selecting the “California Fires” fund (offering code 78102). This fund is also available online or through in-person giving by checking the "California Fires" fund on your tithe envelope. More information is listed below. To donate funds directly through PayPal to Southeastern California Conference, visit our Treasury page.

During times of hardship, the Seventh-day Adventist Church continues to be a resource and place of healing. Adventist Community Services is available with resources for disaster response.
