California Wildfires – How to Support
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
– Psalm 34:18
Wildfires are spreading across California forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes. Some areas are completely devastated. Firefighters from across the nation have come to the rescue leaving their homes and families behind. As the wildfires continue to rage, you can help support those who are suffering through the organizations listed below. Remember to do your research on an organization’s reputation for using donations effectively. Charity Navigator at: www.charitynavigator.org is a good source to consult.
Our hope is not in the things of this world but in a God who is mighty to save and eager to restore.
