Staff A Free Store for Eaton Fire Survivors

Assist the recently opened Eaton Fire Collaborative's Store in guiding survivors through inventory.

Why: With 8 out of 10 Altadena residents still not back home, survivors remain deeply affected by the fire. Volunteers play a key role in organizing donations, stocking shelves, assisting survivors with selecting needed items, maintaining cleanliness, and creating a welcoming, supportive environment.
Who: The Survivor Store at the Eaton Fire Collaborative was created to support individuals and families recovering from the 2025 Eaton Fires by providing essential goods and supplies at no cost. The store ensures survivors have access to everyday necessities while they rebuild their lives.
