California
The SAVE program provides immediate financial relief in the form of $250 gift cards to families who have lost their homes due to wildfire. These grants are distributed by firefighters on the scene, offering direct help when it’s needed most. The funds can be used for essentials like food, clothing, transportation, or temporary shelter. The California Fire Foundation partners with local fire departments to make sure victims receive fast, compassionate aid in the first 24–48 hours after disaster strikes.
