The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to clear debris from properties in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, marking a significant step in the recovery from the January wildfires in Los Angeles County, reports the LA Times. This cleanup initiated a lengthy rebuilding process for residents who lost homes and businesses in the Eaton and Palisades fires, which destroyed over 9,400 structures in Altadena and more than 6,800 in Pacific Palisades. These fires have destroyed homes and disrupted the lives of families and individuals in these areas and their surrounding communities. 

During times of crisis, such as wildfires, the demand for food assistance from the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and its network of hundreds of partner agencies rises dramatically.

Fortunately, Los Angeles County is a generous one. The people of Los Angeles County come together to help our neighbors by donating funds and time to the Food Bank and our partners.
