Eaton Fire Relief

We created the Eaton Fire Relief Fund immediately after the fire in January and have been collecting donations. There has been an incredible outpouring of financial support from within the congregation at PasCov, across many Covenant churches, from multiple churches who are personally connected to members at PasCov, past PasCov attendees, students, colleagues in ministry, and even people we have not met who have heard of the need for our Altadena/Pasadena community and wanted to give to a church that was committed to the mission of caring for the neighborhood as well. Thank you for your generosity and care for our community in the midst of the Eaton Fire.

Our leadership has formed a special benevolence team of three to establish criteria for disbursements and oversee the distribution of the monies to those in need. We want you to be well informed that we have already begun financial support to all of the families within our PasCov community who lost homes and are assessing needs for those who continue to be displaced. We are also walking and working in solidarity with our neighbors. We are mobilizing these funds as wisely as we can and with as little red tape as possible so that immediate needs can be met.

Crises expose the vulnerability of those on the margins, highlighting their urgent needs. Like the Good Samaritan, we are called to see, serve, and come alongside our neighbors in their times of greatest need. Jesus teaches us to show compassion, especially during times of crisis. Our Peace and Justice team members wrote a substantial grant via the Covenant “Love Mercy Do Justice Department” to specifically use to give to families in our local community outside of PasCov Church—and the EFRF team and the Peace and Justice team are coordinating with the Pasadena Community Job Center about how to do that—there will be more to share about that in the next couple of months! We have already helped to buy and replace tools, cleaning supplies and helped with rent and establishing safe spaces to land in after this disaster. Every day there are new needs that appear, and we want to hear God’s Spirit as we make choices and distribute funds.

If you want to give financially, please use the ‘Donate Here’ button above and use the drop down select ‘Give to Eaton Fire Relief Fund (EFRF)’. You can also donate by sending a check to Pasadena Covenant Church (539 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101) and write "Eaton Fire Relief Fund" (EFRF) on the memo line. Donations to this fund will be used for Benevolence (church family needs) or Outreach (community needs) at the discretion of our EFRF Benevolence Team.

Supplies: If you want to send resources (people and/or supplies), we are working with the Clergy Community Coalition who is coordinating efforts on a city-wide scale in sustained and concerted way.  Please email Amara here.
