The devastating wildfires in Santa Monica and Palisades caused unprecedented destruction, leaving thousands of homes and businesses in ruins. The impact on families has been profound, with many losing their shelter, clothing, and access to basic necessities like food.
In response, the incredible generosity of volunteers, donors, and neighbors from Santa Monica, Malibu, and Palisades has brought hope to the community. Santa Monica College has received a significant donation of gently used items, new merchandise, and essential supplies to support those affected by the fires.

The Wann Heritage Foundation, in support of the Santa Monica College Foundation, is mobilizing volunteers to assist with sorting, packaging, and distributing these much-needed goods and clothing to those who have been displaced.

We invite you to join us in this effort. Roll up your sleeves and lend a helping hand to support our neighbors in their time of need. Together, we can make a difference.
We need your help on:
- Fri 1/24
- Sun 1/26
