Two prominent Christian organizations are leading efforts to support families devastated by the catastrophic wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County and surrounding areas in Southern California.

As thousands of acres continue to burn, CityServe and World Help are deploying vital aid and working with local churches and community partners to provide immediate relief to those in need.

The wildfires, fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, have caused widespread destruction across the region. The fires, including the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset fires, have claimed over 9,000 structures, displaced more than 180,000 residents, and tragically claimed at least 10 lives. The ferocious flames have left communities in a state of crisis, and despite the tireless efforts of emergency responders, the situation remains dire.

In the face of this disaster, CityServe, a Christian nonprofit, is stepping in with coordinated relief efforts to provide critical supplies to families affected by the fires. The organization has already sent truckloads of essential goods, including water, food, hygiene items, clothing, and other necessities, to those in need.

Karl Hargestam, executive director of CityServe Network, says CityServe is leveraging its extensive network of churches and community partners to ensure that resources are distributed efficiently to the hardest-hit areas.
