Providing immediate relief and support to older adults affected by the Eaton Fire
UPDATE: The number of Villagers who have lost homes to the Eaton Fire is now at 20. Many more are still displaced. While the devastation of this fire has been heartbreaking, the outpouring of support has been amazing. Villagers, volunteers, leaders from other Villages across the US, organizations near and far, and individuals from all over have offered help, supplies, support, and donations to the Relief Fund. This Relief Fund, plus an emergency grant from the Pasadena Community Foundation, is allowing us to offer Gift Cards to those who have lost homes. We were also able to purchase air purifiers and other equipment to give to Villagers. Thank you!
The unexpected and devastating Eaton Fire has profoundly impacted our community of older adults in Altadena and Pasadena.
Pasadena Village staff and volunteers organized outreach to over 200 older adults in the Pasadena and Altadena area on Wednesday, January 8. Over 15 older adults have lost their homes to the fire. Over 90 evacuated to friends, family, temporary accommodation, or evacuation centers. The "Pasadena Village Relief Fund" has been established to provide continued support and immediate relief to those Villagers affected, particularly focusing on our lower income community and those in need of immediate assistance.
Providing older adults 55+ with the resources and support needed to navigate life's challenges is an integral aspect of our mission. These older adults are facing devastating circumstances and we are looking to provide support where it is most needed. Please donate today to assist those affected by the Eaton Fire.
Thank you for your support!

The number of Villagers who have lost homes to the Eaton Fire now exceeds 20 and many more older adults remain displaced. While the reality of the devastation this fire has left behind is upon us, we are also in awe of the strength and resilience of our community of older adults and amazed by the generosity exhibited by so many at this time. We’ve received kind words and donations from individuals, organizations and fellow Villages nationwide.
Your donation is providing immediate relief to the older adults impacted in our community. We have distributed gift cards, computers, air purifiers, essential equipment, and meals to affected Villagers. Older adults also have access to sessions with a licensed therapist at no cost. We are continuing to find ways to provide flexible, personalized assistance to older adults affected by this disaster because of your generosity.
