SFIC Offers Prayers and Encourages Support for
Aid Response to California Fires

The San Francisco Interfaith Council joins all Californians and Americans in our shared concern for the well-being of residents and first responders impacted by the devastating California fires and is carefully monitoring developments.
In times such as these people of faith seek practical ways in which to support their sisters and brothers in need. The SFIC will continue to inform and instruct our constituent houses of worship, judicatories, religious-based academic and healthcare institutions, as well as the faith-based social service agencies, as those particular needs present themselves.
Those seeking to make monetary donations to faith-based and other humanitarian aid organizations presently engaged in responding to those impacted by the California fires are encouraged to explore the efforts being undertaken by such organizations on the "Humanitarian Aid" page of the SFIC website.
Communities of faith are asked to continue to pray for those who have suffered injury and loss, as well as for those first responders who put their lives in harm's way to contain and extinguish these fires.
