Letter Writing Campaign - Wildfire Relief
Ongoing
Number of Belles:Unlimited
Mail or visit in person Monday-Friday 9-5 pm PST
417 Charles E. Young Drive West, Los Angeles, CA 90024, Room 315
The primary goal of this letter writing campaign is to provide support and encouragement for those affected and for the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to keep our communities safe. This campaign has dual objectives.
First, to support those affected by the fires: provide comfort, encouragement, and resources to individuals and families impacted by recent fires. By sending letters of gratitude and encouragement, our hope is to mitigate some of the emotional strain and show that the community stands together during times of hardship. Second, to express gratitude to essential workers: express heartfelt thanks and appreciation to firefighters, medical personnel, and other essential workers who have worked during this crisis.
There are multiple ways to support this effort:
1. Mail a physical letter/card to the Volunteer Center at 417 Charles E. Young Drive West, Los Angeles, CA 90024, Room 315.
2. Scan and email your letter/card to us at volunteer@saonet.ucla.edu
3. Drop off your letter to us at Bradley International Hall, Room 315.
