About fund
Five years have passed since the Thomas Fire changed the face of Ventura County, and four years since the Hill and Woolsey Fires blazed across Ventura and Los Angeles counties. We have learned firsthand how disaster recovery continues long after the initial intense focus on meeting the most acute needs for emergency housing, medical support, and much more. Long-term recovery funding enables fire victims to receive targeted, personalized support for their particular needs.
In this mid- and long-term phase of recovery, we have hundreds of residents who are working through rebuilding, rehoming, and managing debts that accumulated due to fire-related unemployment and/or recovery expenses. It is also the nature of certain post-traumatic mental and health issues that they arise only after a period of time, and we continue to see fire victims who have been struggling on their own and are now stepping forward for the first time to ask for support. Many other individuals have illnesses and injuries that were caused or exacerbated by the wildfires, which have now transitioned into chronic issues and must be addressed differently.
Thousands of people have received assistance with health care, post-traumatic counseling, housing, wage replacement, child care, debt relief, food security, the replacement of essential household items, and the replacement of equipment and transportation for those who are self-employed.
One-hundred percent of these contributions are going to support our community nonprofit organizations who are serving individuals are still recovering from these disasters. VCCF is not taking any administrative fees on these donations allowing the community to give to one trusted fund and to reduce duplication of efforts.
