Welcome to Appropedia

California Wildfire Appeal

This week wildfires have ravaged Southern California. Their path and scope have been quite unpredictable and devastating to thousands of homes from Los Angeles to San Diego. Rebuild San Diego, the local chapter of Architecture for Humanity (an Appropedia Partner), has been working on the ground responding to volunteer needs at Qualcomm Stadium and other venues in the city of San Diego.

If you are interested in contributing to Architecture for Humanity's San Diego Rebuild efforts, please donate through PayPal.
