Why: Eaton Fire survivors are entering this season carrying far more than the usual holiday stress. With beloved traditions disrupted, housing transitions still underway, and the anniversary of the fires approaching, these weeks can stir up grief, uncertainty, and emotional fatigue. Support them with this non-negotiable home essential: mattresses.
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. These volunteer efforts are led by Neighborhood Survants, which is a nonprofit that encourages youth and community leaders to drive positive change and make a difference.
What to Expect: Volunteers help ensure a smooth and supportive experience for survivors. Duties include:
- Greeting survivors.
- Lifting and placing mattresses in survivors' cars.
- Unloading and loading mattresses from trucks.
What's Required:
- It is requested that volunteers wear festive, holiday-themed clothing. A clean shirt, comfortable pants, and closed-toe shoes are required at all times. Avoid ripped or loose clothing, offensive graphics, or open-toe footwear. Dress for the weather and layer as needed.
- Long hair should be tied back and no dangling jewelry for safety.
- Volunteers 14+ are welcome (youth under 18 should be accompanied by an adult). Bring a collaborative spirit and readiness to pitch in wherever needed.
- Able to lift at least 40 lbs.
