Happy First Day of Spring, Los Angeles! Did you know oyster mushrooms can heal fire-damaged soil? 🍄 At Altadena Community Garden, with support from CCF, sunflowers are blooming and gardeners hope to soon find their way back to the plots they love: bit.ly/4s674ff

Immigrant workers have been among the hardest hit by the LA wildfires, losing jobs and livelihoods as the community around them changed. Grateful to support Big Heart Ranch and Boys and Girls Club of Malibu in making sure recovery reaches everyone. #WildfireRecovery

At the California Community Foundation, we believe strong communities are built when people show up for one another. Here, participants in our #UnitedWeStand26 Summit share why this moment matters, in their own words. #Immigration #Community #Solidarity

"Wonderfully ordinary in the best possible way," Maggie said of the day she spent at Big Heart Ranch, supported by CCF, with her husband and young son Cooper, who explored goats, pigs and donkeys with dirt on his hands and frosting on his face. #WildfireRecovery #AnimalRescue

Today, CCF convened three powerhouse community leaders to brief our board on the real, on-the-ground stakes of looming federal funding cuts for Los Angeles: Jim Mangia of St. John's Community Health, LaShonda Diggs of the LA County DPSS, and Lourdes Castro Ramirez of HACLA.

Healing looks different for everyone. Thank you to the Los Angeles Daily News for capturing what it looked like at Big Heart Ranch last weekend—where CCF-funded programming brought together wildfire volunteers & survivors for a day of connection & renewal: bit.ly/4rxWD3b

The California Community Foundation is proud to have supported a daylong healing event at Big Heart Ranch—a wellness center and animal sanctuary just off Pacific Coast Highway—hosted together with the Boys and Girls Club of Malibu. #WildfireRecovery
