Pacific Southwest District Logo 2025 Southern California Wildfire Response

Update on The Wildfires In Southern California and How To Help:

Visit https://www.psd-lcms.org/disaster-response for resources, updates and “how to help” information.

From the Pacific Southwest District:

As a result of a very significant Santa Ana wind event, several devastating wildfires have been burning in multiple areas in Southern California. Thousands of homes and other structures have burned, and unfortunately there have been fatalities and injuries.

Several of our PSD congregations and schools are in or near the fire areas, with some having to evacuate. As of this point, we are not aware of property damage to churches and schools but have been told some members and student families have lost their homes.

Thank you for continuing to pray and for contributing funds to assist the Southern California fire victims – your prayers and gifts are so important as the scale of this disaster grows.

If you would like to donate, checks can be sent to:
 
Pacific Southwest District – LCMS
16355 Laguna Canyon Rd. #300
Irvine, CA, 92618
Memo: SoCal Wildfire Relief

You can also make a donation online via PayPal.

​100% of funds donated to Emergency Relief will be used to support the congregations, schools, and individuals who have been affected by the fires. Any excess funds will be saved for future emergency/disaster relief.
