LOS ANGELES — As major wildfires raged unchecked and destroyed hundreds of structures across SoCal, driven by the worst Santa Ana winds to hit the region in more than a decade, organizations and residents are stepping up to the plate to help those affected.

National Weather Service forecasters said the windstorm was the worst to hit the region since 2011.

Here is a list of places to help:

• Screen Actors Guild: To support impacted members of the SAG community, donations can be made to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, which operates a natural disaster relief fund
• GoFundMe: Wildfire relief sites include hundreds of residents who lost their homes to the fires and hope to rebuild
• The Red Cross-Wildfire Relief: Financial donations to help people affected by disasters
• The Salvation Army: Donate goods, including basic items that are always a necessity for disaster survivors. Wildfire survivors most often need masks, bandanas, work gloves and other protective clothing, bottled water and other packaged drinks, boxes, barrels and heavy-duty plastic bags, and cleaning items such as rags, mops, brooms and scrub brushes, among other things
• Direct Relief-Helping People Affected by California Wildfires: Direct Relief provides N-95 masks, medicine and other resources to health care agencies and first responders in wildfire-affected communities
• Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation: Make a donation to help firefighters and paramedics fighting wildfires across Los Angeles
• +COOP: Oscar-nominated actor Sharon Stone was collecting donations for victims at the LA clothing store.
