In response to the devastating wildfires that have swept through Southern California, the Farwest Region of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. organized a community support event on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Zion Hill Baptist Church. The initiative aimed to provide immediate relief and resources to individuals and families affected by the disaster.

The event, which ran from noon to 4 p.m., brought together members of the sorority, local volunteers, the Divine Nine fraternities and sororities, and community members in a united effort to aid wildfire survivors. Attendees received free meals, essential supplies such as clothing and hygiene products, and access to relief funds to address urgent personal expenses.

“This is just the beginning of our commitment to helping those impacted rebuild and recover for the long term,” said Kimberly M. Usher, Farwest Regional Director of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

In addition to the in-person support provided at the event, the Farwest Region has launched an ongoing campaign for donations to sustain its recovery efforts. Contributions from the community will be directed toward providing critical resources and financial assistance to families working to rebuild their lives.

Delta Sigma Theta’s mobilization yet again highlights the power of community and collective action in the face of disaster. The event highlighted the organization’s long-standing commitment to public service and its ability to respond swiftly to urgent needs.

Monetary and in-kind donations are still being accepted to support the recovery initiatives and ensure vital resources reach those in need. Click here to donate.
