Congregation Ner Tamid is organizing the donation drive to help those impacted.
In addition to homes burning down, the 100-year-old Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center has also been destroyed.
The local congregation is asking for water and non-perishable food.
They’re also asking for other essentials like hygiene products, over the counter medications, diapers, and pet supplies.
