About Program

Communities impacted by California wildfires need your help! All Hands and Hearts (AHAH) is on the ground, providing hands-on disaster relief—and we’re looking for volunteers to join us.

Help clear wildfire debris, creating safe conditions for families to rebuild. Through our partnership with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), you’ll also support job opportunities for local workers. Volunteers are needed to distribute essential supplies like PPE, provide meals to displaced families, and assist with financial relief efforts.

No experience is required—just a willingness to make a difference.

It looks like this program may not be available right now, but don’t worry, All Hands & Hearts has plenty of other amazing programs to check out!

Great people, purposeful work!

Volunteering with AHAH is always a deeply rewarding experience. The work is physically demanding at times but you’re always encouraged to listen to your body and take breaks when needed. There’s a strong culture of mutual respect and it makes a big difference. The team dynamic was one of the best parts of the experience. Everyone worked really well together, supported one another, and genuinely cared about doing meaningful work. The leadership is excellent, knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help/explain things clearly. Another great aspect is the location. There is plenty to explore, it’s safe to walk around, and you have plenty of time to experience the surrounding area. If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity where you’ll work hard, grow personally, and be a part of a supportive community, this is it!

LA wildfire relief

It’s been great to have the chance to help with wildfire relief in Los Angeles. Program staff has put a lot of effort into buying good food for us, taking us to fun events in the area, and finding worksites that are impactful. Currently the program is focused on smoke remediation projects, but we also volunteer at sites that provide free clothing and home furnishings to those affected by the fires. Our base will be relocating in a couple weeks, but it's currently located in a nice suburban neighborhood.

A Local volunteer perspective on the program

I grew up in LA, specifically North Hollywood. When the fires broke out, I knew I had to do something. I've been on all hands and hearts before, and joined this program in April 2025; helping the Eaton fire, we have had many sites, mostly distribution of donations, working with local and national non-profits.

The largest thing we do by far is smoke remediation, working in Tyvek coveralls, decontaminating homes of smoke damage. You work and live with fellow volunteers; the best and worst part is that it's a revolving door of wonderful people. It's an amazing experience making friends and helping make the world a better place
