The recent wildfires and heavy winds in Los Angeles have brought immense challenges to our community. At HMC Architects, we believe in the power of collective action to support those in need during difficult times.
Here’s how we’re making an impact and how you can join us:
How You Can Help

HMC’s Designing Futures Foundation (DFF) is matching employee donations 1:1 to these incredible organizations:
California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund
Habitat for Humanity of Greater LA

2. Volunteer Locally
Sign up for a shift at the LA Regional Food Bank to help distribute food and essential supplies. Your time can make an immediate difference for neighbors in need.
3. Check-In on One Another
Sometimes, a call or message can provide more comfort than you imagine. Reach out to those affected to offer support and connection.
4. Access Free Temporary Housing
