Eaton Fire Initiative
At Civic Soul, our mission is to connect those in need with organizations that can help them most. We believe recovery is strongest when trusted organizations collaborate to deliver lasting support.
In response to the Eaton Fire, we are a proud member of the Eaton Fire Collaborative—a collective effort to help displaced families rebuild with dignity, stability, and confidence, bringing together community groups, local nonprofits, city, county, and state officials dedicated to helping those affected. We have been meeting weekly since January 14th behind the scenes to create this unified group.
Our Role: Connecting Communities and Resources
Civic Soul is vital in linking families affected by the Eaton Fire with trusted organizations that provide long-term support. By facilitating collaboration and fostering partnerships, we ensure those in need receive the right resources without redundancy. Our impact lies in uniting a robust network of partners to deliver tailored services.
Greenline Housing and Change Reaction lead direct housing support, while additional partners—including Pasadena Community Foundation, Red Cross, Change Reaction, NAACP Pasadena Branch, Foothill Catalog, Day One, My Tribe Rise, Dena Madre Strong, Habitat For Humanity, Victory Bible Church, and others—offer services addressing families' unique needs.
