Southern California Fire Disaster Relief 2025

Southern California Fire Disaster Relief

In January 2025, Cease for Peace helped Southern California fire victims and their families who suffered from a series of wildfires, particularly impacting Los Angeles County and Ventura County, resulting in significant damage and loss of life.

These fires, fueled by Santa Ana winds, caused widespread destruction of homes, businesses, and natural landscapes. The Palisades Fire, in particular, was highly destructive, burning through vast areas of Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu and becoming one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history.
