In the aftermath of the Los Angeles wildfires, @VeniceFamClinic remains a lifeline for people in need. With locations in close proximity to Malibu and Pacific Palisades and multiple mobile units, the Clinic has long provided critical care for vulnerable populations, including people experiencing homelessness who would otherwise lack access to consistent medical services. Now, in the wake of the fires, the need for healthcare has only intensified. Direct Relief is supporting Venice Family Clinic by providing emergency funding, medications, and critical medical supplies to ensure uninterrupted patient care. In an effort to support those most affected by the wildfires, Direct Relief has awarded $2.6 million in emergency operating grants to 43 organizations, including community health centers, free and charitable clinics, reproductive health organizations, first responders, search and rescue teams, and community-based non-profits.
