Assistance Available for Affected Residents from March 18-22
The Salvation Army, in collaboration with other relief organizations, will provide direct financial assistance and essential resources to households impacted by the Palisades Wildfire. The Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) will operate by appointment only from Tuesday, March 18, through Saturday, March 22, on the Westside.
Residents affected by the fire can schedule an appointment at the following link: https://www.exploretock.com/2025cawildfiresmarc. Due to restricted access to the Pacific Palisades area, services at this MARC will be available exclusively to local residents and workers.
Support for Eaton Fire Victims
A separate MARC will be established for those affected by the Eaton fires, with dates and location to be announced. This center will also require appointments and will be held on the Eastside.
Available Resources and Assistance
In addition to financial assistance, The Salvation Army will offer the following resources at the MARC:
- Air purifiers provided by Baby2Baby
- Nutritional snacks, including Thes Bars
- Mattel Play Kits for children of affected families
- Emotional and spiritual care
As part of its national mission, The Salvation Army’s Southern California Division Emergency & Disaster Services team is actively collaborating with local Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). The organization is working alongside Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA) to minimize the impact of disasters and provide long-term relief.
How to Help
The public can support disaster survivors through financial contributions. Donations allow The Salvation Army to efficiently purchase necessary supplies for those in need. To contribute, visit socal.salvationarmy.org.
At this time, The Salvation Army is only accepting monetary donations due to logistical challenges with food, clothing, and household item donations. However, gently used goods can still be donated to local Salvation Army thrift stores to support community efforts.
For in-kind and corporate donations or volunteer group inquiries, contact Katherine Fukuda at [email protected].
