If you want to help those affected by the wildfires or you are affected by them yourself, read on.

Given PLAYBOY’s lengthy relationship with Southern California and the “City of Angels,” along with its physical location in Westwood, many of our own have been displaced in the Los Angeles Wildfires. We are wishing strength to them, all Los Angelenos, visitors, first responders and everyone viciously thrust into this natural disaster.

If you’re looking to help, here are some places you can donate.

The Status of the Fires

As of Friday morning, the LA Times has reported 10 deaths and over 9,000 destroyed/damaged structures resulting from the many fires around Greater Los Angeles. If you’ve been evacuated by one of the Los Angeles wildfires — Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, Sunset or others — and in need of a safe place to flee, here’s where to find refuge.
