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. Help relieve some of the holiday stress of financial burdens and make a youth survivor's holiday wishlist come true.
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.
