Join News Channel 3 to help families impacted by wildfires in ‘Day of Giving’ on Thursday

Devastating wildfires continue to rage across California and other west coast states. On Thursday, KESQ News Channel 3 is taking part in a coordinated fundraising effort to help.

According to the Red Cross, "Our work will continue in the weeks ahead, as we closely coordinate with partners and local officials to mobilize a massive relief effort across these states to ensure that our neighbors have food, shelter and comfort."
