The fires of this year hit many hard. Due to the proximity of the fires in L.A. many here know someone, or were themselves impacted. Generations of history, architecture, community and personal treasures were destroyed. Please join us in supporting families who survived the Eaton Fires with some joy of the holiday they celebrate this season.
As winter approaches, many in Altadena are preparing for their first holiday season after losing everything—including cherished, often irreplaceable, ornaments.
A small group of fire survivors is coming together to bring a little light to this difficult season. At the upcoming Winter Bloom and Plant Material Holiday Markets, we will create displays where people can choose a special ornament (or hopefully several!) to take home.
Here’s how you can help!
We’re looking for donated ornaments, stars, menorahs and kinaras – vintage, meaningful, handcrafted, or uniquely beautiful. If possible, please include a short note sharing its story, or why you picked it or them. That personal touch can bring extra comfort and connection.
