Disaster Relief

While wildfires are a normal part of California’s history, the fire season in California and across the West is starting earlier and ending later each year. Climate change is considered a key driver of this trend. . This grim milestone only shows a predicted forecast that we must brace and prepare for. This is where we step in. 

Our Vice President lost her home in the 2017 Tubb’s Fire, and it is absolutely devastating to think of how many people are going through this painful experience right now, and how many will in the days, weeks, months, and YEARS to come. We got through it with the love, support, and generous donations from our family, friends, and community, and we are ready to show that compassion and generosity back to those who need it most, and that is why I am so passionate about our Disaster Relief Program. Lemon Aide Project’s Relief Program is currently collecting donations from our communities in the form of cash, gift cards, clothing & shoes, unopened toiletries, pet supplies, baby supplies, non-perishable food items, and household items (for those who lost their homes and are starting over from nothing). We have been continuously receiving a huge downpour of support for this program, and have partnered with a local storage facility who is assisting us in storing these donations as we collect and distribute them. These donations will be distributed directly to evacuees, and to those who have (or will) lose their homes. 

Our current most immediate need is monetary donations. The money raised for this fund will go directly towards:

• Securing shelter for low-income families and individuals who are evacuated

• Securing temporary housing for those who have tragically lost their homes.

• Providing food, toiletries, and baby and pet supplies for evacuees, as the majority of donations from our communities are clothing items

We provide assistance to all individuals and families residing in the state of California.

 These needs are dire for advancing and maintaining wellness in our communities during these unpredictable and trying times, and they are both immediate and long term in our state. Lemon Aide Project is determined to ease these burdens as much as possible and power our communities through these dark times.

Our organization was founded with the mission to provide relief to the poor, distressed, and

underprivileged through fundraising and distributing aid to recipients who request funds for

temporary emergency assistance. We are incredibly passionate about disaster relief and

sustainability efforts in California. At Lemon Aide Project, we have been actively engaged in

providing aid and support to communities affected by disasters in California. Our firsthand

experiences and deep understanding of the hardships faced by those impacted have fueled our

determination to make a meaningful difference. We have witnessed the devastating effects of

wildfires and are committed to bringing hope and support to those in need. Your generous

donations would be invaluable resources for us to further our mission and expand our reach.

With your support, we can enhance our disaster relief efforts and implement sustainable

solutions to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes. What sets us apart are our personal

experiences and our ability to empathize with the challenges faced by disaster victims. We are

immensely grateful for any donations made to Lemon Aide Project. Your contribution will be

utilized effectively and efficiently to maximize our impact and bring positive change to the lives of disaster-affected individuals and the environment.
