Project Objective

This initiative was launched to provide support to schools, teachers, and students impacted by wildfires. Led by our dedicated California-based chapter teams, we work through donations and volunteer efforts to supply essential classroom resources, deliver emotional support programs, and help rebuild safe learning environments. Our commitment is to support affected communities in their recovery, ensuring that students can continue their education without interruption.

This initiative was led by our EduBud Irvine Chapter, which organized a successful can drive across nearby schools, collecting over 5,000 cans to donate to the Family Forward weekend food pantry. In addition, they raised more than $7,000 to support students from families who lost their homes to fires.
