Restoring Dignity, Rebuilding Futures

​HOLD Dena is a consortium of churches and nonprofits uniting local and national partners to support families and businesses in their journey toward wildfire recovery. Our mission is to restore dignity by providing immediate relief and long-term rebuilding assistance to those affected by disasters.​​ We plan to achieve this with the goal raising $15M such that each household has $350,000 of seed money to build back better and stronger with equity at the center. We ask our philanthropy partners to MATCH this challenge. Contact us at partners@sharedharvestfund.org.
