Southeast Los Angeles Collaborative

We are here for LA now and always. To support our communities we have numerous ways we are stepping up to help children, youth, and adults get back on track following the wildfires' destruction. Options include: free membership, free childcare, free summer camp, mental health support, and so much more.

We Answer the Call for Help—Always. For 55 years, AltaMed has been a trusted source of care for the Los Angeles community, and in times of crisis, we step up. The Eaton Fire may have destroyed one of our medical centers in Pasadena, but it hasn’t destroyed our commitment to serving those in need. Around the clock, AltaMed staff and volunteers have been providing critical care and support at the Pasadena Convention Center, where evacuees are seeking shelter and medical assistance. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has already donated to the AltaMed 2025 Fire Relief Fund—your generosity is making a real difference. ?? Together, we can continue to provide the care and support our community needs. How You Can Help: ?? Donate to the Fire Relief Fund at https://bit.ly/3Wemoss ??
