Dear Friends of Southeast Community Foundation,

As fires continue to impact our beloved community, our hearts go out to all those affected. At the Southeast Community Foundation, we remain committed to standing by our neighbors during these difficult times.

We are actively mobilizing resources and coordinating volunteer efforts to provide support where it’s most needed. Whether it’s assisting students displaced from their homes or helping to clean-up, we are here to help our community recover and thrive once more.

Together, we can make a difference. If you are looking for ways to help or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We will be sharing updates and opportunities to volunteer in the coming days.

Let’s continue to lean on one another and bring hope to those who need it most.

Warmest Regards,
Cassandra Harris
Executive Director
Southeast Community Foundation
