Overview

After deadly wildfires devastated California, forcing evacuations and destroying thousands of structures, Samaritan’s Purse is now on the ground responding in Jesus’ Name.

Volunteer teams are assisting homeowners on burned-out properties to search for items such as family heirlooms or any artefacts from life before the fire. Teams have the unique opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with these hurting families and to act as a listening ear and voice of encouragement.
