Grassroots Donation Center Provides Aid To Wildfire Evacuees

A home burns by the Franklin Fire, wildfire

Hundreds of wildfire evacuees and volunteers have gathered for free food and other resources at a grassroots donation center outside Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, according to a source.

The ad-hoc donation center emerged after a group of street-vendor friends joined forces to feed people. A portion of the park has been blocked off for the donation center, and donations will be accepted through Sunday evening.
