Mask Oakland is asking for donations to help with this year's fire season, including sending masks and air purifiers to rural and indigenous communities close to the California/Oregon border, and getting masks distributed here in the Bay for fire season and COVID precautions: https://maskoakland.org/give/ They also noted that today is a Spare the Air day in the Bay Area and that we'll likely be seeing some wildfire smoke impacts in the next few days.

They are also looking for volunteers to help distribute masks, and connections with people and organizations in affected areas.

If you haven't heard of Mask Oakland before, they've been around since 2017, distributing masks for wildfire smoke and COVID to homeless people and others in the Bay Area as well as the Sierras. They are extremely effective--to the point that city and county governments were relying on them at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, because they'd already been doing the work.
