WeHo Responds
The City of West Hollywood has activated its West Hollywood Responds program to help facilitate contributions from local residents, businesses, and others.
As the region navigates through the fires and local impacts, the City of West Hollywood encourages community members to take part in donating to organizations that are in urgent need of contributions to provide support to thousands of people and animals who are displaced and in need of shelter and emergency aid. Estimates indicate thousands of structures (structures include homes, businesses, vehicles, sheds, and more) have been destroyed in Los Angeles County, including devastation across entire areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, among other fire locations.
