Buellton Area Resources for LA Residents
Every community in California knows the devastating effects a wildfire can have against the picturesque mountains and open spaces we all love so dearly; and our hearts and prayers are with our neighbors to the south as they grapple with the reality of these catastrophic fires uprooting families and destroying homes and businesses built with care throughout the years.
We know that Buellton and the surrounding area are a popular weekend escape for Angelenos, but we can also be a safe space in difficult times. If you or your loved ones have been impacted by the recent fires, please know that the following resources are available to you if you are looking for a safe space to land.
