Here’s how to help victims of Southern California wildfires
The Line, Bridge and Airport fires have burned thousands of acres in Southern California over the last week, forcing evacuations and destroying homes and other structures.
Prompted by the destruction, families, community members and organizations have started fundraisers to help those who have been impacted by the fires.

GoFundMe has included verified fundraisers to support communities impacted by the fires at www.gofundme.com/c/act/wildfire-relief/california.
Some of the verified fundraisers to help families impacted by the Bridge and Airport fires include:
The Salvation Army’s Southern California Division is operating two emergency shelters at the Jessie Turner Community Center and the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds for those impacted by the Line fire and is also prepared to help community members impacted by the Bridge and Airport fires.
As the fires continued, the organization encouraged anyone who is able to donate so that the Salvation Army can continue and ramp up its response efforts. Donations will ensure the organization can provide food, shelter, emergency services and spiritual care for families and first responders, the organization said.
