The series of winter storms that recently hit California have caused significant flooding, mudslides, downed trees, and power outages around our region and across the state. Local community foundations have activated disaster relief funds that donors can contribute to in support of relief and recovery. We will continue to add disaster relief funds to this list as they are activated by local community foundations.
