Wildfire Update from Los Angeles Regional Food Bank

Los Angeles, CA. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is working with government agencies, nonprofit and faith-based partners and others to respond to the fires throughout Los Angeles County.

As government officials have reinforced with their public remarks, the first priority is keeping residents safe, getting people to evacuate from areas close to the fires, and providing the fire departments with the resources to battle the multiple fires. For more information, go to

County of Los Angeles– Latest emergency updates and alerts
Los Angeles Fire Department– Latest fire alerts
CA Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire)– Monitor wildfire activity
Caltrans Quickmap– Monitor updated road closures and travel advisories
National Weather Service– Updated weather conditions

The Food Bank is reaching out to our network of more than 600 partner agencies to assess their needs, and if they are in an evacuation area, if they continue to operate. We continue to update our Find Food information on our Pantry Locator web page.
