Wildfire Relief
Aid and resources for those impacted by the Southern California fires
Our hearts are with everyone whose homes have been destroyed and lives turned upside down by the Southern California fires. MPTF is working to help those in our entertainment community, working and retired, where aid is needed.
For assistance and financial support, please call us at 323-634-3888

MPTF is currently providing services including financial assistance, providing supportive counseling, and assistance navigating insurance needs. Our social services team is already reaching out to our high-risk community in fire-impacted areas and receiving calls from working and retired industry members with needs including medical supplies and food. Our team can help navigate the county, state, and federal resources available to victims of the fire as well as Red Cross and others.
If you’re feeling challenged or overwhelmed by the numerous requirements and options, we are here to help. Thousands of our entertainment family have been displaced or challenged by this unprecedented tragedy, and you don’t have to deal with it alone.
On April 29 at 3pm PT, the Entertainment Community Fund will present “Managing Debt After a Disaster” to learn and obtain information on how to manage debt in the aftermath of the LA Fires and ways of creating a strategy to navigate your debt. The session will feature panelists from the nonprofit public interest law firm Public Counsel to make sure you know your rights as a consumer. This Zoom webinar is sponsored by a partnership of entertainment industry unions, guilds, associations and nonprofit service providers, and hosted by the Entertainment Community Fund. RSVP here >
