Devastating wildfires ravaged Los Angeles, CA, in early January. Inspired by the principles of “Serving Humanity is Serving God” and “The Whole World Is One Family,” HSS volunteers in the area, including those affected by the fires, took up the task of serving their community in crisis. On January 8th HSS volunteers from Pasadena, Temple City, and Arcadia helped set up Pasadena Convention Center as an evacuation zone by sorting and organizing relief materials. On January 12th, teen volunteers assisted Sewa International and Pasadena YMCA in transporting rehabilitation materials to evacuation centers near Pasadena City College. On January 25th, HSS, in collaboration with the Hindu Temple & Heritage Foundation and Sewa International, organized a Donation Drive at Pasadena Hindu Temple, supporting 70 families with essential supplies kits. Additionally, HSS volunteers established crisis helpline centers to assist evacuees with accommodation guidance, evacuation zones, and relief centers. HSS families also opened their homes to temporarily shelter displaced community members.
