Straight From Survivors
“The EFC serves as the centralized hub of Altadena's rebirth. Through my time working within the Eaton Fire Collaborative this summer, I have been surrounded by recovery leaders, policy advocates, musicians, artists, environmentalists, and scientists. Knowing my home is being rebuilt in a community stewarded by the EFC and these leaders gives me hope for Altadena's bright future ahead.”

“I've learned how wonderful human beings can be when there is a tragic event such as this. I've learned what it really means to be American. It's amazing to see people come together and do what's needed to help their fellow man, their fellow brother, their fellow sister.”
Antonio Manning
“As an Altadenan and fire survivor, I know how much this space means to our community. The Collaboratory is more than a building; it is a promise that we will walk beside one another through recovery.”
