LOS ANGELES, GA — Another day of high winds are expected in Los Angeles as the wildfires that have burned more than 60 square miles and killed at least 25 people are expected to grow and new fires may pop up.

Joining the efforts to provide relief from the California wildfires, the Atlanta-based Home Depot Foundation announces to pledge a million dollars.

The Home Depot Foundation says the money will go toward supporting immediate humanitarian and disaster relief efforts, as well as long term recovery and mitigation efforts in communities impacted by the Los Angeles area wildfires.

The foundation says that its nonprofit partners are working on the ground to support relief efforts including work by the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen, and Convoy of Hope.

Stores in the area have been donating supplies and the foundation says Home Depot is working with its suppliers and distribution centers to make sure stores are stocked up and ready to help with rebuilding efforts.
