Convoy of Hope Serves Survivors of Greater Los Angeles Wildfires

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Convoy of Hope is delivering relief supplies to the greater Los Angeles area to serve those affected by the massive wildfires currently burning there. Semi truckloads of supplies, including food, bottled water and hygiene items, are being delivered from Convoy's Regional Distribution Center in Sacramento.

"The scope of devastation is staggering, We are working to bring comfort to survivors and give them hope for tomorrow."

These fires are the most destructive in LA history. Hurricane-force winds drove the fires earlier this week, igniting block after block. 

"The scope of the devastation is staggering," said Ethan Forhetz, Convoy of Hope's national spokesperson. "So many people are forced to evacuate, not knowing if their homes will be there when they return. We are working to bring comfort to survivors and give them hope for tomorrow."

Convoy is working with partners, including churches and other NGOs, to coordinate distributions of supplies. Donations can be made at convoy.org/fires
