DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Associa Cares, the charitable affiliate of Associa, has announced a significant earmark of $100,000 to support individuals impacted by the devastating wildfires currently raging across Northern California. The Park Fire, now the fifth-largest wildfire in the state’s history, has burned through more than 385,000 acres across the counties of Butte, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama.
In response to the widespread destruction, Associa Cares has allocated up to $100,000 to provide immediate relief to those affected by the fires. This support includes direct assistance to individuals and families who have suffered losses.
“We are deeply concerned about the impact of the Park Fire on the residents and communities in Northern California,” said Scott Hubbard, branch president of Associa Northern California. “Our primary goal is to provide immediate relief to those who have been displaced or affected by this disaster. We stand with the communities during this challenging time and are committed to helping them rebuild and recover.”
Associa Cares has been working closely with Scott and his dedicated team at Associa Northern California to identify potential recipients within their managed communities. At least one of these communities has been evacuated, with four homes confirmed destroyed and further damage assessments ongoing.
The Park Fire has created a dire situation, and Associa Cares is mobilizing quickly to ensure aid reaches those in need. Through its coordinated efforts, the organization aims to bring relief and support to the affected residents, helping them navigate the challenges brought about by this natural disaster.
