The fires have tragically claimed 24 lives so far, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Longoria is actively supporting both the Latino Community Foundation, led by Julián Castro, and the California Community Foundation, with the aim of addressing both immediate and long-term needs of those impacted by the wildfires.In addition to financial contributions, Longoria is also dedicating her time to volunteering. She has pledged to match $50,000 to the charitable organization This Is About Humanity, which is working to support frontline workers, farm workers, day laborers, and families affected by the fires. Longoria will also be collaborating with Global Empowerment Mission to pack and distribute fire relief supplies to the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. Furthermore, she plans to visit the World Central Kitchen operation providing assistance to victims and first responders of the Eaton Fire.
