Disaster Relief - California Fire Response

Join Midwest Food Bank to help Aid Wildfire Victims!

2025 wildfires have devastated over 40,000 acres, destroyed thousands of homes, and displaced countless families. As California faces a challenging crisis, relief efforts are ongoing to meet immediate and long-term needs.
Midwest Food Bank has responded—and will continue to respond—by providing food, water, and essential supplies to wildfire survivors. With disaster relief operations based in Morton, IL, and a national network of warehouses, we are ensuring steady, reliable support. Our Arizona division is a critical distribution hub, coordinating efforts to deliver 1–2 truckloads of supplies weekly to impacted areas across California.
This is not just a one-time response. As recovery continues, so will our commitment. Your financial support provides Midwest Food Bank with the necessary funding to distribute hope in a time of need.
