Volunteers Bring Hope to California Wildfire Survivors

Drive through some of the areas affected by the 2025 Southern California wildfires and you’ll see a small sign of hope: Flowers blooming and grass growing on desolate lots where only chimneys and rubble remain.

Dozens of organizations have gathered at a church building in Pasadena this week to offer wildfire survivors similar hope. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is hosting a six-day disaster recovery gathering at its Pasadena Stake Center in collaboration with the American Red Cross, Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA), and ENLA’s network of providers.

The goal is to provide support to approximately 2,500 households.

“One nonprofit, one church, one faith-based organization can do something, and everyone does respond. But really, the response is so much more effective when everyone comes together,” said ENLA Board Chair Michael Flood. ENLA is the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) serving Los Angeles County.
