THE UNDOCUFUND FOR FIRE RELIEF IN SONOMA COUNTY, IS CURRENTLY RAISING FUNDS TO ASSIST THE VICTIMS OF THE KINCADE FIRE, WHICH HAS GROWN TO OVER 30,000 ACRES!
The number of families impacted is still unknown as the fires currently spread and more evacuations are being ordered. However, the impact is real and for undocumented families, federal help is not available. An estimated 38,500 undocumented immigrants live in Sonoma County. Unlike other victims, undocumented immigrants do not qualify for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Even when they do qualify for services, many undocumented immigrants are unlikely to pursue those benefits due to fear of immigration enforcement, lack of familiarity with official institutions, and limited English proficiency. At every turn, our undocumented neighbors face barriers and challenges to recovering from the fires.
All donations go directly to assist fire impacted families with the exception of a small percentage used to cover administrative costs. UndocuFund is managed by North Bay Organizing Project, we are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 45-2369887. All contributions are tax deductible. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for your contribution.
