We’re raising money for GoFundMe.Org's Wildfire Relief Fund.

Exciting update 1: This fundraiser is now powered by Community Funds! Reddit Community Funds is matching donations to this fundraiser up to $20,000!

Exciting update 2: GoFundMe.org just announced that they will also be matching the r/LosAngeles fundraiser up to $20,000 as well!

This means your donations will now have triple the impact (!) in supporting wildfire recovery efforts.

In the last 2 days we’ve raised $10,410 (halfway to our goal!). With matching from both Reddit Community Funds and GoFundMe.org, that’s $31,230 going directly toward helping those in need, thanks to all of you!

We’re so incredibly grateful to Reddit Community Funds for matching our fundraiser and supporting this cause, to GoFundMe.org for matching this fundraiser up to $20,000 as well -- and of course, to all of you who have donated or shared the fundraiser, and supported the people of Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles wildfires have devastated homes, livelihoods, and the sense of security many depend on. Recovery is more than rebuilding structures, it’s about restoring hope and stability for families who have lost everything. The Wildfire Relief Fund provides direct support for fire recovery efforts, helping survivors heal and rebuild with resilience.

The Reddit community has answered the call to support you all.

Over the weekend, Guitar Center announced the new initiative, which is running from now until February 28. Together, Guitar Center and its Guitar Center Music Foundation have confirmed that they will support musicians and music programs affected by the Los Angeles fires with a special one-time grant that will allow them to replace their destroyed instruments or gear.

In order to qualify for the grant, musicians and programs applying will have to meet several criteria: they will have to be LA-based, may have to provide proof of loss or address and will have to set up an account to apply.

In order to be eligible, music programs will have to classify as one of the following: In-school music classes in which the students make music, after-school music programs that are not run by the school, community music programs which offer music instruction to the community or music therapy programs in which the participants actively make music.

It is worth noting that the grant does not offer cash – instead, it will only replace instruments or gear. Additionally, there is a US$1,500 cap for each applicant.

Dave Grohl turned 56 years old on Tuesday, and he apparently spent the day cooking meals for families displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires, as well as for inmate fire firefighters battling the blazes.

On their Instagram, Feed the Streets Los Angeles shared a brief video of Grohl stirring up a large batch of chili, as well as another clip of him pushing large containers down a sidewalk.

Grohl, who lives in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino, has been a longtime volunteer with Feed the Streets LA, previously partnering with the organization in March 2023 to provide meals for thousands of homeless people during a particularly harsh period of bad weather.
