The Thomas fire in Southern California continues to burn out of control. People are losing their homes all across the state. Andrew Dieleman tells how you can help people who have lost everything they own…
Fires can destroy lives and livelihoods in the blink of an eye, regardless of whether they stay confined to one house or spread throughout a wide area. If you want to help, you can donate money or supplies through the American Red Cross. Current goods needed include sealed water bottles and food, new and unused clothing, blankets, and new and unused toiletries. If you cannot donate money or supplies, donating your time by volunteering is another option worth considering. Many pets get lost and are picked up by local animal shelters, so consider donating to the local shelters to help them handle the influx of pets. Find your local Red Cross location at redcross.org, or call 800-RED-CROSS.
