NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Verizon Foundation is stepping up to support communities devastated by the Southern California fires and windstorms with a total of $1 million in donations. The contributions aim to provide much-needed aid and resources to support firefighters and the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fires and windstorms are absolutely devastating, and Verizon Foundation is stepping up immediately to ensure support reaches those who are in such urgent need,\u201d said Donna Epps, Verizon\u2019s Chief Responsible Business Officer. \u201cThe Verizon Foundation is supporting the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation as they provide relief for communities to contain the fire and keep people safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American Red Cross is on the ground helping those impacted by the devastating wildfires in California,\u201d said Anne McKeough, chief development officer at the American Red Cross. \u201cWe are so grateful for partners like the Verizon Foundation as we work together to provide relief and hope for communities in the wake of this heartbreaking disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur LAFD firefighters continue risking their own safety to defend our communities as the Palisades Fire rages on,\u201d said LAFD Foundation President Liz Lin. \u201cWe must do everything we can to ensure they have the tools and equipment they need to protect homes and lives. We cannot thank Verizon enough for this incredible support.\u201d<\/p>\n
