How You Can Help The Wildfire Victims In Northern California

Tragedy has struck, so let's spring to action and help the wildfire victims.

Wildfires in Northern California's wine country have resulted in the deaths of at least 23 people and destroyed more than 3,500 structures - including houses, wineries, and resorts.

Since Sunday night, firefighters have been battling at least 17 separate fires, which spread rapidly due to the area's dry condition. As of Thursday morning, most wildfires remained un-contained. Thousands of residents and visitors have fled the wildfires, and officials expect the death toll to increase.

We likely will not know the full extent of the devastation for weeks, but we can begin helping immediately as but there are many communities desperately in need of our help.
