As winter approaches, many in Altadena are preparing for their first holiday season after losing everything—including cherished, often irreplaceable, ornaments.

A small group of fire survivors is coming together to bring a little light to this difficult season. At the upcoming Winter Bloom and Plant Material Holiday Markets, we will create displays where people can choose a special ornament (or hopefully several!) to take home.

Here’s how you can help!

We’re looking for donated ornaments, stars, menorahs and kinaras - vintage, meaningful, handcrafted, or uniquely beautiful. If possible, please include a short note sharing its story, or why you picked it. That personal touch can bring extra comfort and connection.

If you’d like to contribute or get involved, please contact OrnamentsForAltadena@ gmail.com or click the ‘participate’ section at the top of the page.

Donations can be mailed to us at

UPS Store ATTN: Michael Wax Box 351 1443 E Washington Blvd Pasadena, CA 91104

DONATIONS CAN BE DROPPED OFF LOCALLY AT THREE LOCATIONS!
