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
