Eaton Fire Initiative
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.
We have zero employees and very low administrative costs, so 100% of donations to the Fire Fund go directly to helping Eaton Fire survivors.
As of July 7, 2025, we’ve distributed over $430,000 in rental relief and 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 education and resource fair with informative panels on recovery and rebuilding, and we continue to help hosting smaller events connecting survivors, one on one, to partner organizations.
Our Role:
Civic Soul provides one time rental assistance and temporary emergency hotel stays for displaced families and individuals.
We work closely with Greenline Housing, Change Reaction, ROWW, and with additional partners through the Eaton Fire Collaborative—including Red Cross, Foothill Catalog Foundation, 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.
We’ve also advocated on behalf of fire survivors to receive more aid from the government with Congresswoman Judy Chu.
“My family and I attended the Civic Soul resource fair and loved every second. It was so inspiring and informative and it’s the first time I really cried, releasing so much trauma and stress from this fire, when the panel with Mandy Moore shared insight into our mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. So, thank you!”
“Through the chaos, your generosity has been so uplifting for us. From the thoughtful gifts to the immense relief of covering a month’s rent, every act of kindness has lifted a weight off our shoulders and given us the breathing room we needed. Civic Soul is doing such extraordinary and admirable work. It’s inspiring to see the genuine care and compassion you bring to those in need, and we’re beyond grateful to be recipients of that. We can’t express enough how much it means to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for everything!”
“Thank you for everything and for putting on such a meaningful and thoughtful event. I had invited a number of people on my staff whom lost their homes and they thanked me too much. I passed on the credit to you and your team. One of them received a suit which was vital as he has some weddings coming up. They are trying to rebuild their lives and this was very helpful.”
