As of Thursday evening, the fire had consumed over 1,000 buildings, over half of them homes, and had burned more than 700 square miles. At only 30% containment, at least 14,000 more homes are still threatened.
Supporting our brothers and sisters who have been both temporarily and permanently displaced by the fire is vital. Click here to donate to the Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, which is assisting with wildfire relief efforts.
