In the wake of the Eaton fire, MA Center LA has been providing ongoing relief to affected families by delivering essential supplies and freshly prepared meals every week through the first week of April.

Yoland Trevino, Executive Director of PACTL, expressed heartfelt thanks:
“The MA Center’s weekly meal and contributions of essential items and snacks have made a real difference in the lives of 45 families—offering lovingly made meals that bring comfort. Their generosity enriches our food pantry boxes and creates joyful moments for parent volunteers, who share lunch together with laughter and lightness amidst their challenges.”

In addition, MA Center LA has donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting the families of injured and fallen wildland firefighters.

Mata Amritanandamayi, also known as Amma is aware of the devastating fires in and around LA.
Seeing the suffering of everyone is heartbreaking. She prays to the Supreme Consciousness to
grant mental and inner strength to all who are suffering.
