Inspiring hope after the Camp Fire
Following what proved to be the most devastating wildfire ever in California, something truly inspiring occurred. Associates and partners from across Adventist Health and beyond rallied together in support of our Adventist Health Feather River associates. Spurred on by generous matching funds from Adventist Health, giving exploded in an unprecedented manner, and within a few months thousands of gifts had been collected.
The volume of support was humbling and the impact far reaching. Here are some ways in which we are inspiring hope after the Camp Fire.
