Resources & Support For Those Affected by the LA Fires
Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by the fires around LA. The destruction has been devastating for so many in our community, and we know so many have lost homes, studios, gear and instruments, and cherished valuables.
If you were directly affected, we will continue to update this page with resources as we find them.
If you are in a position to help those affected, we will be updating the list of resources and adding new GoFundMe campaigns as they are sent to us. Please consider giving to the organizations providing resources and/or to individual GoFundMes.
We will come together as a community and help everyone get back on their feet!
