The CEO of SNAP CEO EVAN Spiegel and Miguel Santana’s California Community Foundation has been starting to help residents of Altadena and Pacific Palisades since last month’s forests.
California Community Foundation, Snap, Spiegel and Snap CTO BOBBY MURPHY are investing $ 10 million in the program staff, called DEPARTMENT OF ANGELS.
“Our purpose is to ensure that the local community influenced by Eaton and Palisades Megafires can manage its recovery.” “The Angel Department is not a government or private sector initiative. It is a community -oriented network that focuses on allowing the affected residents to control their recovery. ”
The Angels will provide independent resources and project management support to help the affected residents and work with the existing community leaders and organizations.
Last month, Spiegel sent a letter to the Los Angeles community and mentioned how he grew up in Palisades. He mentioned that his father’s house was lost in forest fires.
