At Civic Soul, our mission is to connect those in need with organizations that can help them most while providing volunteer opportunities. We believe recovery is strongest when trusted organizations collaborate to deliver lasting support.

In response to the Eaton Fire, we are a proud member of the Eaton Fire Collaborative—a collective effort to help displaced families rebuild with dignity, stability, and confidence, bringing together community groups, local nonprofits, city, county, and state officials dedicated to helping those affected.

Our Role: Connecting Communities and Resources

Civic Soul helps connect families affected by the Eaton Fire with trusted organizations for long-term support. We’re actively providing one time rental assistance and covering emergency housing for displaced families. By fostering partnerships and coordinating efforts, we ensure families receive the right resources without redundancy.

We work closely with Greenline Housing and Change Reaction and with additional partners—including Pasadena Community Foundation, Red Cross, ROWW, Foothill Catalog, Day One, My Tribe Rise, Dena Madre Strong, Habitat For Humanity, Victory Bible Church, and others—connecting the fire affected community with as many resources we can.

As of June 2025, we’ve distributed over $300,000 in rental relief, over $50,000 in emergency hotel stays. We’ve given away 6 cars, and countless care packages that include gift cards, clothing, bedding, pillows, towels, and toiletries. We hosted an educational and resource fair with informative panels on recovery and rebuilding in March, and help host smaller information events connecting survivors with more one on one connection to organizations working to help them. We’ve also advocated on behalf of fire survivors to receive more aid from government with Congresswoman Judy Chu.
