SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Fires ravaging Los Angeles have caused damage and economic losses so far estimated between $135 billion and $150 billion, leaving many displaced without homes to return to. Here’s how to help.
Lifting Hands International is sending the first semi-truck of goods to California from Utah tomorrow, Jan. 12, to help with disaster relief. They are looking for clothing, backpacks, and toiletries, though any household basics are likely to be accepted as well.
