SEATTLE (January 9, 2025) Christian humanitarian organization World Vision is responding to the devastating wildfires in Southern California, sending truckloads of relief supplies from several of its product warehouses across the country. Two truckloads have already arrived in Los Angeles, and additional shipments are planned to arrive by the weekend. The shipments include water, food, masks and gloves, bedding, diapers and clothing, hygiene kits, toys for displaced children, and other critical resources.

World Vision is coordinating with L.A.-area partners, including local churches, to deliver the relief supplies to affected families, and is preparing to provide additional support as needed.

“Over the coming days, World Vision will work closely with local partners to ensure they have the supplies and resources needed to support families affected by these devastating wildfires,” said Reed Slattery, national director for World Vision’s U.S. programs. “Through our partnerships with local organizations and churches, and through the generosity of our donors, we’re providing critical resources to those affected by this disaster.”

In the aftermath of wildfires and other disasters in the U.S., World Vision is able to respond immediately, thanks to its dedicated U.S. staff and seven strategically positioned supply warehouses around the country. The organization draws on decades of experience in disaster response—and on existing partnerships with U.S. churches and nonprofits—to ensure that supplies are delivered as soon as possible to the people who need them most.
